Greetings 8th grade band students and parents!
We invite all 8th grade band students to come participate in the the audition clinics listed below. Our veteran student members will be participating and we are all very excited to welcome you/your students to the high school band family!
I am very glad that we will be able to do these clinics this year after having to cancel everything last year. Students will be masked and spaced throughout.
These clinics are very important, required for membership, but also very fun and low pressure!
*Students should make plans to attend all clinic dates and times but if you have a legitimate conflict, please reach out to coordinate with me, so I can ensure all students are fairly and equally instructed and assessed.
All audition clinics will be group-oriented and instructionally-based while serving to help the staff and me make important determinations. Students should initially come to the high school band room but clinics will be held between the band room, cafeteria, and possibly outside.
*Students should wear comfortable athletic clothing – shorts, t-shirt, tennis shoes. We encourage bringing a water bottle but not required.

Percussion Audition Clinics:
Tuessdays – April 13, 20, 27; May 4, 11 – 3:45-5:30 each day
*During marching band, our percussion students are assigned to a specific instrument/group. These percussion audition clinics will start with fundamental instruction, gradually increasing exercises, while students move between instruments within the battery (drumline) and front ensemble (keyboards/auxiliary percussion). Students will be able to express their interest and preference while we guide them to what is best for them and the group (similar to positions on a sports team).
If you’re looking for a delicious way to help the band, visit El Monte on Wednesday, May 5th. When you check out, let them know you’re with the Buckhorn High School Band and a portion of their proceeds will come back to us.

The EAA Chapter 190 Monthly Fly-in Breakfast takes place on the 3rd Saturday of every month. Breakfast is served rain or shine. This is a wonderful fundraiser project. It’s a great opportunity to learn about aviation and the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). To give a little history, the EAA Young Eagles program was launched in 1992 to give interested young people, ages 8-17, an opportunity to fly in a general aviation airplane. These flights are free of charge and are made possible through the generosity of EAA member volunteers. Flight Disclaimer: The Student’s parent/guardian must be present to sign a waiver to fly.
The BHS Band/CG provides buffet-style breakfast. There’s a wide range of folks who come out to enjoy our breakfast like Pilots and their family/friends who fly into Moontown from near and far, Boy Scout groups, and our local communities. The breakfast menu may include: Scrambled eggs, sausage, pancakes, grits, gravy, biscuits, fruit, orange juice, and coffee.
Volunteers are responsible for: Service line set up, cooking, replenishing the breakfast buffet items/supplies, and Cleanup. Most importantly we want to make our guests feel welcomed and we must show our appreciation for their generous donations and support.
If you are interested, please sign up through CHARMS>Calendar>Go to ****>Click on the little hand once spots are open.
Please wear comfortable tennis shoes and clothing, preferably your BHS band shirts if you still have one. It is important that we represent BHS Band/CG just at Mr. Souder expects everyone to during all events we participate in. Even if you don’t volunteer, we want to encourage everyone to come out and support BHS Band/CG and EAA Chapter 190. The cost is $7 for Adults and $5 for Children.
What better way to start the week than by helping our Band? And you get a great meal as a bonus! Stop by Schlotzsky’s Deli on University Drive anytime on Monday, May 17th. When you check out, let them know you’re with the Band and we’ll receive a portion of the proceeds.
ALL Jazz Band and Concert Band students/parents, please read all of the following concerning the SPRING CONCERT:
This Thursday, May 20th at 7:00 is our Spring Concert at The Rock Family Worship Center’s “Dream Theatre” (enter from Holmes Avenue). We are putting final touches on the program this week – students really need to avoid missing class this week if at all possible.
DETAILS FOR STUDENTS:
On Thursday, student call time is no later than 5:00 ON STAGE, FULLY DRESSED in concert attire so we can begin sound/visual checks working backward through the program, to finish by 6:30. Don’t be late to call time and don’t walk in half-dressed.
*I am looking for student volunteers who have the ability to arrive by 4:30-4:45 to help get chairs and stands set by 5 for the full ensemble.
CHECK YOUR CONCERT ATTIRE NOW. Parents, please ensure your student’s attire is mended correctly (pant/dress length – not bunched up at the foot), and that gentlemen wear a solid white undershirt and TALL BLACK SOCKS with their tux. Ladies need closed-toed solid black flats or low heels. All hair must be neatly pulled back.
*Your dress and “look” reflects you, your family, your section, & our band, in that order. Please do your best to help us be “uniform”. It matters.
