UIL Concert & Sightreading

The students have been working hard for several months now preparing for the UIL Concert & Sight-Reading Contest which is right around the corner. Please come and support your child and encourage any other friends/family to come as it is always more enjoyable for the students to perform a concert with a large audience and loud applause. Try to get there a little early in case they are running ahead of schedule. You will not be allowed to enter the auditorium during the performance until you hear applause between pieces.

UIL Concert & Sight-Reading Contest

Important Reminders!

1. Concert Uniforms will be worn
   • Boys – Tuxedo Jacket, tuxedo pants, tuxedo shirt, black bow tie, black cummerbund, long black socks, black dress shoes or black marching shoes.  BOYS NEED TO TRY ON THEIR TUXEDO PANTS TO MAKE SURE THEY STILL FIT.  MANY FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORE BOYS TEND TO GROW A BIT BETWEEN EARLY DECEMBER AND MID-APRIL.  If you do not check this, you may end up wearing Pee-Wee Herman pants for UIL!
   • Girls – black band dress, black close toed shoes with an inch or less heel
2. As these performances get closer please ensure that you are at all after school rehearsals and in attendance at school unless very ill.
3. Students who take private lessons during band class should reschedule your lessons or postpone them until after UIL so that all students will be in band class this week and next.
4. Detail times for both events can be found in the event’s description on our Google Calendar.  You can see this description by clicking on the event.
5. A couple chaperones are needed for each band. You can sign up in Charms.
