...just kidding! Here is your weekend update!


NEW INFORMATION AND UPDATES

COLOR GUARD GEORGETOWN CONTEST - Our JV and Varsity Winter Guard teams have concluded their seasons this past Saturday with JV placing 7th in their division and Varsity placing 8th in theirs. It has been awesome watching the teams perform and grow throughout the season and I am proud of all of the hard work each of you has put in! Thanks to all band members who traveled and assisted with the guard and their performances!

AFTER SCHOOL SECTIONAL SCHEDULE - Due to the timing of the board meeting, we will need to cancel the Wind Ensemble after school brass/percussion sectional. We WILL still have the woodwind after school sectional on Tuesday. Wind Symphony will have a FULL REHEARSAL TOMORROW ON MONDAY and the Symphonic Band will have a FULL REHEARSAL ON TUESDAY, both from 4:45pm-6:00pm.


3/29 BHS HOSTING MIDDLE SCHOOL CHOIR UIL - We will be hosting MS choir UIL this Wednesday, March 29th. The band hall will not be accessible during the day. It is my intention for the Wind Ensemble and Jazz Ensemble to rehearse during this day. We will provide more details once we have more information.


3/30 PRE-UIL CONCERT/2023 SHOW REVEAL - The Belton High School Symphonic Band, Wind Symphony and Wind Ensemble will be performing their respective UIL concert programs on Thursday, March 30 at 6:30pm in the Belton HS Performing Arts Center. We highly recommend that family and friends attend this concert, as this may be the only opportunity to hear the students perform this music due to the UIL contest taking place during the school day. Students will need to be dressed in full concert formal wear by their respective call times.


Symphonic Band - 6:00pm ON STAGE

Wind Symphony - 6:15pm IN THE BAND HALL

Wind Ensemble - 6:30pm IN THE ORCHESTRA ROOM
