UIL/Pre-UIL performances Upcoming

The students have been working hard for several months now preparing for the UIL Concert & Sight-Reading Contest which is right around the corner.  However, before they perform at Pearland for judges, they will be performing their contest music at our Pre-UIL concert so that friends and family who cannot attend UIL have an opportunity to hear the contest music.  It is also an opportunity to have a dress rehearsal before we go to contest.

Pre-UIL Concert

Thursday, April 14th
Symphonic call time – 5:30pm
Wind Ensemble call time – 6:00pm
Concert begins – 6:30pm (auditorium doors open at 6:15pm)
Clear Springs High School – Auditorium

Please come and support your child and encourage any other friends/family to come as it is always more enjoyable for the students to perform a concert with a large audience and loud applause.  If you are able, please consider also coming to Pearland and supporting the students at their UIL performances as well.

2. As these performances get closer please ensure that you are at all after school rehearsals and in attendance at school unless very ill.
3. Both upcoming Monday rehearsals will be with clinicians.
4. Students who take private lessons during band class, should reschedule your lessons or postpone them until after UIL so that all students will be in band class the weeks of April 11th and 18th.
