-We began our Coke Fundraiser today. Please check out the attached information
sheet and order form. There are a few changes from previous years.
-Band Placement Auditions are coming up soon (week of 11/16). These auditions
will determine class placement for the spring semester.
-Thanks to all the parents who helped out at our Marching Contests this year.

Good morning,
I apologize to those of you who do not have a child in the Band Program any
more. I have not updated my email list yet. However, you might want to check out
the section about the GOLF TOURNAMENT.
-SUMMER BAND begins on Monday (8/3) at 8:30AM. You should have received a Summer
Letter and Calendar in June. Please be sure your child is dressed for marching
band and brings a water jug.
-BAND REGISTRATION is Thursday (8/6) starting at 5:30PM. The process will be
very similar to years past. A few of the fees and prices have changed, but not
by much.
We are asking for some help from upperclassmen parents for that evening. If you
are able to help out (even for part of the night), please contact Linda Hudgins
hudginslinda@gmail.com
-We are in need of a parent who can weld some castors onto some percussion
carts. If you can help us out, please let Mr. King know
christopherking@tomballisd.net
-The Tomball High School Cougar Pride Band Golf Tournament will be on Saturday,
September 26th. Please see the attached documents for information about the
tournament and sponsorships. Please contact David Kwiatkowski with any questions
(his contact info is on the flyer). (Click here for
flyer. Click here for
form).
-FYI - If you have left me a message this summer, there is a chance I did not
get it. My voicemail has been acting weird all summer. Hopefully it will be
fixed soon. Sorry for the break in communication.
We are looking forward to a great year! See you Thursday night at registration.
