Band Buzz: February 25, 2024
Spring is in the air...
....and my nose is not happy
It's Showtime!
Our theme for next year's marching band show is official! Looking forward to the students spreading their wings.
Volunteers Needed
Band/Color Guard banquet (May 10th)
Please be on the lookout for volunteer opportunities for our annual banquet this coming May. It's a great way to let our kids know we appreciate all their hard work. More info below.
From the Directors:
What a whirlwind of a February!
Congratulations to all the students who performed their small ensembles at our Ensemble Recital Night. These student-led performances were very well prepared, and all received superior ratings from our two judges.
We had a great time in Orlando (despite the weather), and the students had a great studio experience recording Disney music from Star Wars and The Lion King. The almighty copyright prevents the posting of the recording, but we will watch it together at the band banquet.
Great job to all the percussionists at the Percussion Recital on Thursday! All of the solos and ensembles were very well received by a record audience!
The Clear Lake Jazz Band had two wonderful performances at the University of Houston Jazz Festival and at Bites at the Lake. Shout out to Michael Haile, Roman Enriquez, and Oliver Lampson for receiving soloist awards at the Jazz Festival!
Thank you to all the volunteers that helped bring back Bites at the Lake! We haven’t had that event since the pandemic. It was a wonderful night of great food, great company, and great jazz!
Finally, congratulations to our incredible Winter Guard! They placed 3rd in Scholastic Reginal A on Saturday in their 3rd competition of the season. On to Cypress Falls HS on March 9!

Monday: Symphonic and Wind Ensemble Full Band
