There is an info packet for winds, one for percussion, and one for all jazz. The auditions will take place this Saturday, November 19, 2022 at Antioch High School. 
 
 
SCHS Band Calendar - UPDATED
The remainder of our Quarter 2 dates are listed above and can also be found on the online calendar. If you have synched your mobile devices to the calendar than all updates should appear. We will send out a Quarter 3 and 4 calendar before the end of the semester.
 
Concert Attire Update
All new students have been fitted for concert attire. Additionally returning students who need additional concert attire have also been measured. For those students wearing concert gowns, hemming measurements will take place in class as soon as they arrive in the mail. For wind ensemble members who will wear a tuxedo, you will need to purchase a white button-down long sleeve shirt. This does not have to be a tuxedo shirt as you can use this shirt for other occasions besides concerts. The only other requirement is to make sure the collar is not a button-down collar. A normal laydown collar without buttons is exactly what is needed. Tuxedo jacket fittings will take place in class this week.

TN Division II SMBC - Critical Update
Calling all band parents - We are 4 days away from this event and we still have several positions that need to be filled and items donated. The difference between a $10,000 day and a $30,000 is you! Hosting the Tennessee Division II State Marching Band Championship is a huge honor and undertaking. The smallest things make the biggest differences. 
 
As of tonight we have NO parents signed up for evening concessions or tickets sales, and we need parents to sign-up to work parking. We also have NO parent help for Sunday clean-up and tear-down. Additionally, we still need donated items. Please sign up. 
 
The vote for site host is voted on by the directors of this contest and we are in competition with schools in surrounding counties who also have turf fields who would like to host this event. Please help us make this event a success by clicking the two links below:
