Dear Seventh and Eighth Grade Band Members, Parents, and Guardians:   

We will be traveling to Whitehouse High School on Wednesday, April 14^thfor our UIL Concert and Sightreading competition.  We have been working very hard to get ready and are looking forward to doing our best.   

Students will be wearing their school-issued uniform for the performance in Whitehouse.  As a reminder, students need to bring their black shoes and solid black socks(or panty hose for girls) to school on Wednesday. We will be changing into our full uniforms before we leave, so students must bring shoes and socks with them in the morning.  (The rest of the uniform should have already been turned in to McMichael Band.)
