Reedy Preview Day - Tuesday October 10
8th grade students who will be attending Reedy High School next year will attend the first ever "Reedy Preview Day" on Tuesday, October 10th! During this event, our students will have the opportunity to go to Reedy 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 Reedy-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 Reedy HS at 9:15 AM and will return at 10:45 AM. However, if the weather is nice, we might just walk over since we are so close. 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 Reedy Band!
Middle School Night with the Reedy Band
7th and 8th Grade band members from Pearson Middle School and Pioneer Heritage Middle School are invited to perform at the Reedy HS football game on Friday, October 13th at Kuykendall stadium! The combined bands will perform in the stands with the Reedy High School Band and then stay in the stands for a good view of the Reedy H.S. Marching Band at halftime. Just think, in just a year or two, all of you will be out there with them!
Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend but will need to purchase a ticket to the game at the gate or online here http://tickets.friscoisd.org/
In addition to the game night, we are inviting all 8th graders to meet with us that week for a little orientation to the Reedy band during the school day on October 10th from 9:30-10:30am.
