From Mr. Woods:

Hello Tiger Band Family,

Now that we're all rejuvenated after Spring Break, I'm really looking forward to all the bands digging into the UIL music, and the Varsity Winterguard looking ahead to their TCGC Area and State performances.

Congratulations to the JV Winterguard on an awesome season, capped off with a really strong performance at the TCGC State contest at Moe and Gene Johnson HS for the JVSRA classification. Their performance earned the Bronze Medal in the Blue Round, with a score of 78.86! The JV Winterguard, made up of students from the fall guard, and students who are either new to the guard program or wind players that just really love to perform. With such a wide range of skill level, Mr. Vereen and Mary have done a great job providing the JV performers with the performance, equipment and movement skills they needed for a fun and successful season. I am so proud of all the JV performers!

Important! Butter Braid Delivery this Thursday!

Butter Braid Delivery this Thursday!

It’s Butter Braid delivery week! If your student sold any items through our Butter Braid fundraiser, you or your student must meet me in the Band Hall right after school this Thursday, the 21st, to pick up their items for delivery.

Remember that the items can only be left unfrozen for a total of two hours, so they either need to be delivered or put in your freezer at home within that time.

Let me know if you have any questions!
