PBJ: 8/31-9/6
After a succesful first football game at home on Friday night, we have a quick turnaround before our first away game this THURSDAY against McKinney North HS. For away games, students will have very little time after school to prepare for our departure. It is extremely important that they bring everything they need for the game to school that day. A meal is provided by our Band Boosters prior to away games.
Band Students will report to the Lovelady HS Band Hall at 3:45pm wearing our Summer Uniform - Black UUG shorts, maroon UUG shirt, and athletic shoes with socks. Please read through the Itinerary and Gameday Checklist below for everything you need to know to be prepared for our first away game. Colorguard students will receive guard-specific information from Mr. McGehee and Ms. Matheny.
Private lessons are an optional enrichment opportunity for students to receive weekly one-on-one instruction from an expert on their instrument. They are sometimes compared to tutoring in other subjects, but this is a misleading comparison. While tutoring in other subjects is usually designed to assist students struggling in those areas, private lessons are also especially valuable for students looking to take their performance to the next level. Whether the goal is making the All-Region Band, learning a challenging solo, being placed in a higher level band class next year, or simply being more confident about playing their instrument, private lessons are the best way for students to improve their skills.
