BLUE BOOKS NEEDED FOR BAND CLASSES
All Wind Ensemble, Wind Symphony and Symphonic Band students will need to start bringing their “Foundations of Superior Performance” book for their instrument(also referred to as the “blue book”) to band class starting on Monday. We will do a book check this Friday, November 8 during classes. We will be utilizing this book throughout the school year so it is important that everyone has their own. You can purchase these books at Music and Arts, or on Amazon, just be sure that you acquire the book for YOUR INSTRUMENT.
11/5 SUB FOR ALL BAND, PERCUSSION AND GUARD CLASSES
The BHS band directors will be taking a trip to San Antonio to view the 5A state marching contest finals. There will be a sub in each band class. Students will be expected to work on region music, or on music for the upcoming winter concert. You are expected to be on your best behavior and to show the substitute teacher respect on this day. Any students that are reported for misconduct by the sub will be written a referral.

We will do a reduced halftime show for the playoffs. We will know more details on the date, time and location of our playoff game after the regular season ends on Friday, November 7.
