8th Grade Band Night

Tomorrow, Friday, November 3rd, is BISD’s annual “8th Grade Band Night” at the HS football game. We invite all 8th Grade Band students to play along with the high school band. 
Students are to meet in the stands at 7:00pm. Students should bring their instrument in its case into the stands. 
Students must wear their current band t-shirt and blue jeans. Wearing the shirt and holding an instrument is their ticket into the game; band students get in for free! (They may wear/bring a jacket if it is cold, but it’s not supposed to be cold.)
Students will share music with the high school band students. The 8th graders will join the HS band on the field at halftime to perform “Rock It.” 
Students will have 3rd quarter off for concessions. Bring money for food/snacks. They will be dismissed after the School Song is played at the end.
Three important things:
1.) 8th grade band students will stay with the HS Band all night. They will have 3rd quarter off to visit with friends/family.
2.) All performances are required performances. As stated in the band handbook, I need a written note, in advance (email or text is fine), if unable to attend a performance. So far, nobody has notified me that they will not be able to attend.
3.) Students must be eligible in order to participate in extra-curricular events. Any failing grades from the 1st 6 weeks report card must have been brought up to a “70 or above” on the last progress report.
