Jazz Concert

The Evening at the Blue Room concert will be held on Monday, Dec. 11 at the H2O Student Center. Come enjoy!!

Calendar Reminders

Good morning! I hope all is well for you! I just wanted to update you on the next several days as we move toward the end of the semester. Saturday, Dec. 2 is the Christmas Parade. We will wear Santa hats, red sweatshirts, jeans that are blue and have no holes, rips or tears in them, (Parents help us with this. Last jean event we had some shabby looking stuff.), and tennis shoes. Call time Saturday is 9:00 a.m. at the FBC Gym.

The Christmas Concert is Sunday, December 10 at 2:00 p.m. at FBC Lavaca. Call time for the HS Band will be 1:00 p.m. Dress is shirt, tie, khakis or dress pants and dress shoes for the guys. Ladies will wear dresses, skirts, or pant suits- remember you have to be able to sit like a musician! Call time for the concert will be 1:00. We will have to tear down and reset the stage immediately afterward for the evening church service. Everyone will be staying to help do that.

You should be well on your way in your Region Tryout prep. If you need anything for that please let us know.

We need to push hard the next couple of weeks to finish a great semester strongly! We will meet sectionals and early band all this week and next. We will be done with those after the the concert and they won't resume until after the break. The week following the concert we will be doing some recording in the band room, so be prepared and ready for that. In addition to getting clean recordings of the concert music, we will be recording the Star Spangled Banner.

If you have any questions about any of the above events, please be sure to ask early. Nothing on this list is new. This is only a calendar update. Have an awesome week.

Great Season!!

I'm incredibly proud of you for an outstanding marching season. You are, without a doubt, the VERY BEST Lavaca Golden Arrow Band I have ever had. We have much to do before the year is out. I have great expectations for you and what we can do together. Congratulations again. I'm proud of you and I love you all.

UAFS Trip Cancelled

Due to an unanticipated lengthening of the All Region Jazz Clinic we will be unable to take our UAFS Jazz and dinner trip on Saturday. We will try to make the show in the Spring. Sorry!!

Congrats to Jazzers!!

Congratulations to Clayton "Freebird" Masterson, Patrick Melton, Logan Dooly, Cody Keene and Evan Haddick on qualifying for the All Region Jazz Bands.

Congrats to Patrick and Logan for qualifying for All State Jazz auditions to be held in February.

We're proud of you guys!!!

Friday's Schedule

This Friday we will host Westfork for the first round of playoffs. Call time will be 6:30 in full uniform at the stadium. Don't forget to get your uniform from the cleaners!! If you haven't taken it to the drycleaners yet, please do so next week. All uniforms must be cleaned.

We will be doing the contest show Friday night. That means we'll go outside and dust it off on Friday morning. Be prepared. We will most likely have a pep rally on Friday as well.
