Please do not forget to check in to UDB to mark your attendance for morning/evening rehearsals!

Attendance Policy:

Excused absences and tardies require parent/guardian communication with the director. Parents and guardians, please email kevin.kwaku@bisd.net BEFORE the scheduled event. I understand that extenuating circumstances will come up, but we need to know about any absences in advance so that we can plan accordingly.
ELIGIBILITY CHECK THIS FRIDAY
The first eligibility check of the year will be this Friday, September 20 at 4:25pm. Any students with a grade below a 70 in an on level class will be considered ineligible beginning Friday, September 27, 2024 at 4:25pm. This would mean you would be unable to attend the following performances:
Friday, September 27 FB Game vs. Cuero
Saturday, October 5 Midway Marching Preview Contest
Thursday, October 10 FB Game @ Ellison HS
Saturday, October 12, US Bands Burleson Marching Contest
It is imperative that everyone takes care of business so that we can enter our competitive marching season strong! Please take care of any grades below a 70 EARLY THIS WEEK!
IMPORTANT NOTE: The call time for our game this week will be 1:00pm and we will be departing at 1:30pm. You will not have an opportunity past 1:30pm to turn in assignments past this time!
10/5/24 MARCHING CONTEST CHANGE
There has been a change in our first contest for the year. We will now be attending the Midway Marching Preview at Midway HS. More information to come soon.
CALENDAR ADJUSTMENTS
There are a few changes/corrections that were made to the M100 calendar:
There was originally a morning rehearsal scheduled for Friday, September 20, on the same day as our San Angelo game. This has been rescheduled to Monday, September 16 from 7AM-8:15AM in order to alleviate the length of that day, since it will be a long trip to the game.
The M100 calendar had mistakenly listed the Region Jazz Auditions as Tuesday, September 24. These auditions will take place on Wednesday, September 25 at Temple High School.
NO PEP RALLY THIS WEEK
There will be no pep rally this week. Pep rallies will only occur when we have home games.
9/20 AWAY FOOTBALL GAME @ SAN ANGELO CENTRAL HS
Please click HERE to view the details of our upcoming away football game at San Angelo Central HS. You can also view this itinerary by clicking on the “Itineraries” tab on the band website.
NOTE: We will NOT wear the traditional uniform for this game. We will wear the summer uniform for this game and debut our traditional uniform at the homecoming game on September 27 against Cuero HS.
9/25 ALL REGION JAZZ AUDITIONS
The All-Region Jazz Auditions will take place on Wednesday, September 25, 2024 at Temple HS. The auditions will begin at 5:30pm and will end at around 10:00pm. (Some sections may be done auditioning earlier.) Students will need to provide their own transportation for this event. For those auditioning, please plan to arrive at Temple HS by 5:15pm so that the auditions may begin on time. I would recommend getting picked up immediately after school and grabbing a NON-GREASY meal before the audition to arrive in time to Temple HS.
24-25 M100 REMIND CODES
With the introduction of ParentSquare to Belton ISD, in addition to the Fine Arts programs moving from Charms to CutTime, we may need to move away from Remind in the near future. Until we are told otherwise, we will continue to use the Remind codes that we have established. If you have not done so already, please follow the instructions below to keep up to date with all current information.
STUDENTS: Join with the Remind app or text this code to 81010 - @2425m1st
PARENTS: Join with the Remind app or text this code to 81010 - @2425m1pa
