Yesterday two of our Carlisle Band seniors, Melissa Alvarez and Karolyne Estrada travelled to Austin for the Texas/Kansas game. They joined the Longhorn Band as Sideline Crew members for the day and sat with the band in the stands and watched the game day rehearsal process. During this visit they were able to experience what performing in Division 1 college band is like and also met the directors, students, and drum major in the band.

There are so many opportunities for our students after their time in our program to be able to confuse playing their instrument and seeing really cool places!

We will have an opportunity in November for any student 9th-12th to experience the Tyler Junior College Band and join them in the stands to play at the game. Check with the band directors for more information on that opportunity!

Tomorrow is the our third football game of the year at home vs. Arp! Game time is 7:30 pm and we will have students meet at 6:00 pm in the band hall. Dress again is band shirt, black shorts, white socks, and white band shoes. We will have a pep rally in the gym at 1:30 pm. We look forward to adding more music and drill tomorrow night during halftime!

See you tomorrow night at Arrowhead stadium!

Students will meet at the band hall at 5:45 pm and travel to Troup. Game time is 7:30 pm. Dress will be the same as last week: band shirt, black shorts, white socks, and white band shoes. Dinner will be provided after halftime during 3rd quarter.
