8th Grade Night

8th Grade Night at East Ascension High School is coming up on Friday, September 29th. All 8th grade band students are required to attend, this is a performance grade. This is a fun and exciting opportunity for the students to sit with the EA Band in the stands at the football game and perform with them. Here are the details:

Uniform – Black pants (no jeans, leggings, or joggers), black socks, black shoes, black belt, Maroon Band Polo tucked in
Report time – 5:45 p.m. at Gonzales Primary Gym
What to Bring – Instrument and Music in Flip Folder. EA is planning one of our songs with us in the stands and we will play 2 of theirs. Large instruments – tuba, baritone, percussion – will load their instrument on the trailer during 4th block.
EA Band will provide water and pizza during halftime, no outside food or drinks will be allowed in the stands
The students will stay for the entire game as well as watch the EA band perform their half-time show. Please pick up promptly at the end of the game. A Remind (text @cmband8 to 81010 to sign up) will be sent out when the game is about to end.
