Main Event Party- January 9th
On Friday, January 9th, the Pearson Band will have its annual Main Event Party at Main Event Frisco. This optional event will be from 4:30-7:30 PM.
Tickets to the Main Event Social will be $21.50 and will include a $10 game card, 1 hour time card for arcade games, pizza, a drink, and unlimited access to bowling, laser tag, gravity ropes, billiards, shuffleboard, and mini-golf. Transportation will not be provided, so students will need to be dropped off at 4:30 and will need to be picked up by 7:30. Please see the attached guidelines list for more information.
Tickets for the event can be purchased on the Cheddar Up Online Store. Refunds will not be available for absent students, but they may use the purchased game card at any other point in time. This offer is for Pearson Band members only. Tickets must be purchased by Sunday, January 4th at 11:59 PM.
Per Main Event policies, we will need several parent chaperones for this event. If you are available and willing to chaperone, please sign-up at this link. We currently have spots for 5 chaperones, but more might be needed later depending on how many students go on the trip.
We are so excited to have this fun event with our band family!
FISD Solo Contest- January 31st
The district solo contest is on Saturday, January 31st at Stafford Middle School. While the contest runs all day (9 am-4 pm), students will be assigned an individual time to perform for their judge. The performance plus the warm-up time should take between 30-45 minutes total.
If you have a time preference (early in the morning, as late as possible, nothing between 12-2 pm, etc.), please communicate that to Ms. Jobe at jobel@friscoisd.org before Friday, January 16th. This will give Ms. Jobe time to make the schedule and communicate that schedule to all parents and students. We will try our hardest to accommodate all scheduling requests but cannot guarantee this given how many students are attending the event.
Instrument Petting Zoo- January 17th
It's almost time! Our annual Instrument Petting Zoo will be on January 17th, 2026. If you have an incoming 6th grader that is interested in band, or that just wants to try playing all of the different instruments, you can sign up for a time at this event by clicking HERE. Please share with your friends and neighbors if they have an incoming 6th grader!
We will need several parent volunteers for this event- please be on the look-out for a sign-up in the next few weeks.
