CLHS Band and Color Guard Families,
What a busy two weeks! We would like to thank all the parents and friends who helped us host a monumental two marching contests in two weeks. To everyone who has volunteered the last two weekends, we could not have done this without you! Thank you so much for your support of your child’s activity and helping us to provide a wonderful experience for all of these young performers. A special thank you to Joy King, our Falcon Band Booster Club President, for countless hours putting together the volunteers for both contests. Thank you all for representing our band program and our community in such a high regard!
On Saturday the band placed 3rd in our classification, and 14th overall out of 28 at our first BOA competition in 9 years. They had an amazing performance in our best run of “Monarchy” so far this year. We are beyond proud of these amazing students.
Our push to make the UIL State Marching Contest starts this Thursday!
We hope you can join us for our UIL performance on Thursday at 7:15! It will be at Freedom Field located at 10855 County Rd 65, Rosharon, TX 77583. Entry is free of charge.
**Very Important:**
Students are hit with a very quick academic eligibility turnaround this time of year. It is very important for students to maintain their grades! This Thursday, October 10, is the final day for students to get in grades to remain academically eligible for the first 9 weeks report card. If students are below 70 in any of their classes on the 9 weeks progress report they will lose their academic eligibility and will not be able to go to football games or contests with us, and consequently will be removed from the Varsity Marching Band.
Dallas Trip Letter of Intent and First Payment of $200 is Due on Monday!
For our annual Spring Trip, we will be visiting Dallas March 7-9, 2025! This is a great opportunity to travel with friends as well as a nice reward for the hard work and dedication these student exhibit throughout the year. Please see the trip letter below.
