Upcoming Events

Greetings Wildcat Band Family,


The beautiful snow was an absolute blessing this week. There is just something about the stillness that comes with a fresh blanket of snow on the ground that helps to recharge your batteries! I was impressed with our students' diligence in attending google meets (97.33% attendance in all band classes for the week) as well as the recordings students turned in (70% turned them in within 30 minutes of the meet being over and another 12% got them turned in by Friday afternoon.) This is just one of the many reasons band students are THE BEST students!


8th Grade Band - please remember that we will NOT have sectionals this week but will have a full band rehearsal on Tuesday 3:45-5:30pm with special guest Mr. Tim Hendrix, Director of Bands at BHS! Then we will have the opportunity to work with the one and only, Mr. W Dale Warren, Senior Wind Band Conductor and Professor of Music at the University of Arkansas, will join us Wednesday during class.


Stay healthy, stay well and have a band-tastic week!


-Mr. Jones
