Panther Band Journal: Week of 11/10

Double T Photography will be here this Tuesday, November 11th, to take official photos of all band and colorguard students in uniform. These will begin during 7th period (for students in Jazz Band or with 7th period Admin release) and continue after school until all students have been photographed.

Band students should report to the Lovelady HS Band Hall after school and put on their uniform bibbers and coat, preferably over UG shorts and dry fit. Specific socks and shoes are not required. Shakos will not be worn.The line should move quickly if all students ensure their uniform is being worn correctly.

Colorguard members will receive specific instructions from their directors.

We do not currently have an alternative date scheduled. Students should make every effort to get their picture taken next Tuesday.

Phase 1 auditions for the TMEA Region 25 High School All-Region Band will take place on Saturday, December 6, at Wylie High School. Students who place high enough in Phase 1 will advance to the Phase 2 auditions on Monday, December 8. Students placed in one of the All-Region Bands will participate in a Clinic and Concert on January 15-16 in Plano.

This audition is not required, but any student in grades 9-12 who is preparing the required etudes is strongly encouraged to participate. Students planning to audition must submit the form below no later than 5:00pm on Wednesday, November 19th.

Note: This is a separate audition from the 9th Grade All-Region Band auditions taking place on Monday, November 17th.
