The Spring Trip meeting will be on Monday, March 22, from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. in the cafeteria at Friendswood High School. One parent of every student going must be in attendance as well as the student. We will go over the trip guidelines and pertinent information for the trip. This meeting is very important to the success of the trip. Thanks!

As you search on the internet, consider using Good Search as your search engine. Type “Friendswood Band” in the “who do you search for” box and hit Verify. After that, search all you like. For every search, the band receives 1 cent so if all 250 students in the band and color guard along with the parents search once a day, we could make $225 a month. That is free money for the band to use. Put Good Search as your homepage as a reminder to use it. Thanks!

The FHS Percussion Solo & Ensemble Contest and Marching Clinic has been moved from Saturday, March 6, to Friday, March 5, due to student and clinician conflicts. The event will begin at 4:00 p.m. and end around 9:00 p.m. Ricky Rodriguez, from Spring High School, is our judge and clinician. He was a member of the Blue Devils Drum & Bugle Corps and has taught at Spring for many years. Just recently the Spring HS Percussion Ensemble performed at the Midwest Clinic in Chicago. All 8th grade percussionists are invited to attend the marching clinic to begin preparing them for high school. Mr. Urbina and Mr. Sanchez will work out those details about time, etc. More details will come out soon. If there are any questions, please contact Mr. Sanchez.

The deadline for the final payment of $80.00 has been extended to January 20. Please have your final payment in the box on or before that date. If you have any questions, please email Maria Georgeton at georgeton@earthlink.net.
