Just want to say congratulations to Alan Garcia, Alex Medrano, and John Hunt for a fantastic concert with the Region 5 Full Orchestra. The concert sounded fantastic, and they performed well! Wonderful job friends!

Last Update I informed everyone on a couple of positions that have opened on the board. I would like to thank Roy Hayhurst for stepping up and taking over the social media accounts, and Darlene Lozada for taking one of the board positions. If you are still interested in joining the board and help the program run smoothly, contact myself and/or Amy Garcia at summitbandprez@gmail.com

Thank you to those who have reached out to me about the this. I should have some more information regarding the event this week and I will follow up. If anyone has any other “hookups” or “recommendations” for a DJ, let me know!

We had a short conversation as a band, and almost everyone agrees that we want to go for this. What does this mean? We have up to four tries to record our UIL program and submit the recordings to a panel of judges. Those judges will then listen to the recordings, rank the bands at the region, area, and state level. If we win, the band will be able to perform at TMEA 2024 as the 5A Honor Band winner. More information is coming on this soon.

If you’re a parent and you’re wondering what we need to do for the colorguard contests, don’t fret, Ms. Sam is working on an email to send to you. We don’t feel we have to do a big meeting as long as we check our emails. 😉Guard contests are much lower key from a parent volunteer standpoint than marching band season. Food is low key as well because we want to encourage the students to bring cash to purchase food from the concession stands at the schools we visit. If we hosted a guard contest, we would wish the same thing as most of the profits from hosting a show come from the concession stand.

Some volunteer opportunities will be driving the box truck, riding the bus, and helping load the props.

Ms. Sam asks would like anyone who is interested in getting Winterguard specific information, please scan this QR code and join this BAND channel

Please check out the Parent and Booster BAND channel and answer the short question I asked. When speaking to the rep at Vertical Raise, he suggested we sell a digital coupon book for the spring semester and keep the donation drive to a once-a-year thing in the fall, during marching season, but he’s willing to do whatever we need to do.

We need to raise funds for winterguard props, instructional staff, masterclass teachers, lesson scholarships, marching band props (STATE YEAR!), show design, and instruments. If you’re not part of the parent BAND channel, please scan the QR code.

More info coming out on this soon!
