Welcome
To Teague Band's Website!
Summer Band Camp is always a lot of fun for
both beginning and advanced players. We
are looking forward to the next camp which will be starting on
June 14, 2010. See you there!
Feel free to continuously check out our website for all the information you need about the band. For now, here are a few dates to mark in your calendar.
For students who may not know… band is an elective
and selective course which provides an enjoyable and educational experience
for more than 300 students in grades 6 through 8. There are a total of six
bands consisting of the following: three Beginning Bands, one Concert, one
Symphonic, and one Jazz Band, but no matter which one a student is placed
in, cooperation and teamwork is a must.
There is a beginning band meeting, orientation
and instrument try-out on August 27. NEW BAND STUDENTS (those who
did not attend Summer Band Camp) - PLEASE DO NOT rent or purchase an instrument
of interest prior to Thursday, August 27. Director
approval of ALL instrument selection is required. Picking an instrument
involves a great deal of preparation and consideration, not only of the
students’ need, but the band’s needs as well.
Will I be able to do other things, too?
Of course! Students in the band participate in virtually every other school and after school activities as well. Many students in band are enrolled in advanced and gifted courses and challenging academic activities. Teachers and administration at Teague work together to make sure that you will get everything you want out of your middle school experience.
I hope that your membership in the Teague Band will be a rewarding and productive musical experience, and remember, no matter what you hear, band is NEVER full.
Have a great year!

A special thank you to the parents who are now moving on to the high schools, especially Vicki Zajac, who served as the Booster President this year. Thank you Vickie for your dedication to the band. We wish you all the best.
We would also like to thank all the music teachers who assisted us during the year: - Mr. O’Hara, Miss Berry, Mr. Erwin, Mr. Youmans, Mrs. Sweat, Mr. Yancey, Mr. Combs, and of course, Mr. Bottomley. We could not have done it without you.
Teague band students are the best! We would like to thank you for believing in yourselves and for your hard work during All State, All County, Solo & Ensemble and MPA. For your efforts, Teague bands have again received Superior ratings for Jazz MPA, and Concert MPA. Congratulations Teague Band.
