Mrs. Nowlin's Poe Mighty Tiger Band Blog!

Symphonic Band students have been invited to sit in with the Brackenridge High School Band at Brackenridge’s game vs. JeffersonHigh School on Friday, October 2, 2009.

Participating students need to be at BrackenridgeHigh School at 5 p.m. on Friday so they have time to eat, warm up and load the buses from there.We will not be providing transportation for the students, but we will be able to transport some of the larger instruments for them.Dinner will also be available, but at cost to the student.Dinner will be $5 per person, and they will be given a half a pizza and a drink.Also, for the students to be able to get dinner, they must pair up with someone else for the meal deal to work, and bring their money on Thursday morning so their dinner orders can be included with the high school students’ orders.

Participating students will need to have transportation home from BrackenridgeHigh School as we will not be meeting back at Poe.Please be available to pick up your child at 10:30 p.m.

We are looking forward to this opportunity for our students to get a little taste of things to come in high school band!If there are any questions, please email Mr. Hoch at ahoch1@saisd.net or call at (830) 515-8636.

Thank you!

Also, a version of this letter should be going home tomorrow (Wednesday), as well as a Field Trip Permission Form for this Friday - Mrs. Nowlin needs to receive these Permission Forms by Friday for any student who plans to attend!

Symphonic Band students (formerly known as Advanced Band) are invited to join the Brackenridge High School Eagle Band in the bleachers and play this Friday! Students planning to attend may stay in the band hall after school Friday afternoon. We will provide a snack for participating students and ride a bus together to the game. Students may wear their usual school clothes to the game, and need to bring their instruments! I will post updates to this information as it is available to me throughout the week, as the Brackenridge Band Directors have kindly planned and provided transportation for the game. I will get clarification for information including student pick up time and location. We look forward to having a great time at the game!

The Band Boosters will be meeting TONIGHT in the Poe Middle School Band Hall at 6:00 p.m.! We will have snacks available, and this is a great opportunity to get involved in helping our band students have a great middle school band experience! Please stop by and learn what Band Boosters are all about!
