TWB members and parents,

To make the marching show as impactful as possible next year, we need to recruit another 15-20 members, giving us the biggest guard we have ever had (@50). THIS WILL BE HUGE. If you know of anyone you want to travel with or would you think would enjoy the performance aspect of performing for huge crowds (can't wait for next year) have them get in touch with Mr. Dixon or Mr. Jackson.

If they have any dance experience or gymnastic experience, that is awesome; however, it is not a prerequisite.

This will take all of us to reach out and recruit for the show "BELLS"....this thing is going to be off the charts!

If you know of anyone that quit band in high school, or just didn't take band in high school that would like to come back, please let us know or have them contact us. This past year was strange but next year is going to be AMAZING! We want everyone to have an excellent experience, so tell your friends to jump back in. WE ARE ESPECIALLY IN NEED OF TRUMPET AND SAXOPHONE. We will be traveling a lot and performing WAY more next year. Track your friends down and tell them that we want them back.

Sectionals are over for the year! Please be in your seat warming up 10 minutes before the start of the rehearsal in order to get set up and warm up properly.

Wylie ISD has approved the school calendar for 2021-22. This includes a fall break; however, all athletic and fine arts contests, rehearsals and productions will still run during that week. Meaning, even though WISD has a fall break scheduled, there will still be a football game and contests. This means there will be rehearsals too. Below is our plan for that week, so if you are looking to go away some time, here are the dates we will have games, rehearsals and contests.

OCTOBER 8-16 Schedule

• Friday, October 8 - Football Game (4:30PM-11PM)
• Saturday, October 9 - McKinney Marching Invitational (we are the defending champs)
• Sunday, October 10-Wednesday, October 13 (4 days) - NO REHEARSAL
• Thursday, October 14 - Varsity Marching Rehearsal 9AM-4PM
• Friday, October 15 - Football Rehearsal and Game (2:00PM-11PM)
• Saturday, October 16 - UIL Regional Marching Contest (advancement to Area Level)
