Frisco HS Preview Day- Tuesday, October 15
8th grade students who will be attending Frisco High School next year will attend the first ever "Frisco Preview Day" on Tuesday, October 15th! During this event, our students will have the opportunity to go to Frisco HS and meet with the current members of the band to get a small taste of what they will experience on Friday at the Middle School Band Night and beyond!
Next Tuesday, all Frisco-bound 8th grade students will need to go to the band hall for 2nd period. We have a bus set to take 8th grade students from Pearson to Frisco HS at 9:15 AM and will return at 10:45 AM. We will not be taking instruments and students do not need to wear any specific uniform. This event has been approved by our school admin, and teachers are aware that these students will be missing at this time. All students are responsible for making up any missed work.
This is going to be a great experience for all involved, and we are so excited for our students to get to interact with our former Patriots in the Frisco HS Band!

Private Lessons
We highly recommend all students in Symphonic and Concert Band sign up for private lessons, even if you were not enrolled last year. Private lessons are a great way to progress on your instrument with the assistance of a master teacher who plays that same instrument. While tutoring in a core class might only be to catch up or erase deficits in the learning process, private lessons are for everyone. Typically, the top musicians in the band program are ones that are in private lessons!
This is the time to sign up. Our teachers are in high demand and teach across several different campuses and districts. Lesson times are first come first serve, so sign up ASAP. You can sign up by reaching out to the lesson teachers directly via email, which can be found at our website HERE. You can also email Mr. Jenson at jensonm@friscoisd.org.
If you were enrolled in lessons last year, make sure you reach out to your lesson teacher to get on their schedule for this year.
