Dear Band Family -

Our FINAL fundraiser for this school year will be April 12, 13 & 14th at the PAC; we have the opportunity to run concessions for a 3-day dance competition with the potential to make a good amount of money for the band…organizers are expecting over 2500 attendees so we need LOTS of volunteers to pull this off! Please see the links to sign up to donate concession items OR to volunteer… Students and parents welcome! 
 
End-of-Year BAND BANQUET: Thursday, April 25th 6-9pm
Our end-of-year band banquet is @ Creekside, across from the Salt Lick.  Beautiful venue, delicious food, a candy bar, photo booth, DJ and lots of fun recognition of our SENIOR BAND MEMBERS!  Every person attending the banquet  MUST purchase a meal ticket; DEADLINE TO PURCHASE IS APRIL 15th; meal tickets will not be sold at the door.  *Please note that this is NOT a fundraiser…the cost of the ticket pays for the rental of the venue. (Seniors will have their meal paid for by the boosters but still must go online to choose their meal)

Also for the banquet, we need ALL PARENTS/GUARDIANS OF SENIORS to email 3 photos of their senior to haysbandboosterspresident@gmail.com  (1 baby pic, 1 middle school pic, 1 senior pic)  DEADLINE IS APRIL 15th.

Summer Music Opportunities

Summer music programs are a fantastic way for the individual to become branch out and experience a whole new musical scene. Whether it be through Drum Corp or summer music enrichment camps, we as a staff highly recommend our students explore some of the opportunities that are available to them. Below are a few summer music opportunities for your students to participate in here in the state of Texas. We encourage you to explore some of the other options available for your student as well. For example, some universities offer instrument specific camps, i.e. UT Arlington host a GREAT French Horn Camp and UNT host a wonderful Clarinet camp. 

If you need help picking the right camp for you, please contact Mr. Collins at

SUMMER MUSIC PROGRAMS
2019 / 2020 Band Registration 

Registration for the 2019-2020 band year will be open on April 1st starting at 5:00pm. The 2019/2020 band registration form will need to be filled out by all students who are planning on being a member of the Hays Rebel Band next school year. This includes incoming Freshmen as well as any transfer students. 

All band registration and payments will be handled online through our website - www.haysbands.org - On the home page you will find links to both the band registration form as well as a link to "Revtrak", our online payment portal.

COMPLETE REGION 18 UIL SCHEDULE
2019 / 2020 Johnson HS Band Auditions
Please see the message below from Johnson HS Band Director, Joey Lucita:

I am super excited with how all Hays CISD MS bands performed at this year’s UIL Concert and Sight-reading Contest. Now that we are finished with this major hurdle it is time to start the 2019-2020 HS audition process for Johnson High School. I wanted to wait as late as possible to distribute this information as to not interrupt MS preparations, however time is rapidly escaping.

My current plan is to attend each campus to hear the students audition for the 2019-2020 JHS Bands during the week of April 8th (any overflow or absences will push to Monday April 15th) I believe that there are several STAAR 8th or EOC exams that week and I will do my best to adjust to those schedules. 

My current thoughts are to travel to each campus and hear the students during their band class:
          
April 8th  – Mc Cormick MS
April 10th – Hays HS
April 11th – Dahlstrom MS


Students can find/print out the audition music below. We will also have physical copies come Monday, April 1st in the HHS Band Hall. Any questions regarding the Johnson High School Band auditions can be directed directly to Joey Lucita at joey.lucita@hayscisd.net
