Picture Day This Thursday
Last week, all students received an order form for band pictures that will take place this Thursday, February 1. Students will wear their uniform and have their instruments in a group picture taken in the Competition Gym that day. This is for publication in the school yearbook, and available for parent purchase. We will also have individual photos being taken in the Ensemble Room if you wish to purchase one of your student with their instrument in uniform.
We prefer that order forms be filled out ahead of time and money brought on Thursday in order to purchase them. However, Photo Texas will have a “Last Chance” order form that day where students will fill in their parent contact information, including email address and phone number. You can contact Photo Texas directly by visiting phototexasphotography.com or by calling 800-833-6463.
Students who do have on their band uniform at the start of their class period will not be allowed in the picture. Students must “Be Prepared” and be responsible for having their uniform on Thursday.
Beginners will need to wear their band shirt tucked into jeans with closed-toed shoes and a belt for gentlemen. The full Beginner’s Ensemble group picture will be taken during 6th Period Tiger Time that starts around 1:30pm. Individual beginner pictures will be taken during their respective band class period.
Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble students will take their pictures during their 2nd and 4th period class, respectively. These students need to wear their formal band uniform, which includes their polo shirt tucked into black pants, black socks and shoes, as well as a black belt for gentlemen. We will also take an additional All-Region Band group picture during 4th Period for those students who qualified.
Jazz Band will need to wear their jazz uniform with black pants, black socks and shoes, as well as a black belt for gentlemen. This group picture and any individual pictures will take place during their normal 3rd period class.
Please email a director if you have any questions.
