Clear Springs High School Auditorium
This concert is looking to be a great concert for the whole family. The evening will begin with the Wind Ensemble performing their UIL Contest music, which we will be recording in order to submit an entry for the TMEA Honor Band Competition. Following that performance will be the Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and then Wind Ensemble again performing new music.
This will also be the last time our seniors will perform with The Clear Springs Charger Band. This means that this concert could be the last time some of these seniors will ever play with a band again, so all family members and friends won’t want to miss it.
This evening will also be professionally recorded so the Wind Ensemble can submit for Honor Band and an additional competition. A quiet environment during the music is required.
We will begin collecting Concert Uniforms on Monday, May 21st.
Uniforms must be turned in by Friday, May 25th or you will be added to the Clear Springs High School fine and fee list.
Washing Instructions
- Release hems.
- Wash jacket/pants/dress in cold water with a mild detergent.
- Avoid using strong scents or fabric softeners. The next student may be allergic!

The 2017-2018 school year is quickly coming to a close, which also means that the 2017-2018 edition of the Clear Springs Charger Band will be coming to an end as our seniors graduate and incoming freshman join to form the 2018-2019 Clear Springs Charger Band. However, before we say goodbye to our seniors and welcome in the new freshman, lets all get together and celebrate our achievements from this year as well as reminisce about your favorite memories by attending the 2017-2018 Clear Springs Charger Band Banquet.
The program for the banquet will begin with an Italian dinner buffet after which the directors will present various awards for achievement and service. There will be opportunities to win prizes and an awesome slide show. To close the evening we will be letting the kids loose on the dance floor. Don’t worry parents, there will be parent chaperones to keep an eye, or several eyes, on things.
