Band Notes -Week of April 15 - 19

Hello Stampede Family,



Congratulations to all performing groups for their success at the UIL concert and sightreading contest last week! Straight 1’s and Sweepstakes for all groups!  The Stampede is only 4 years old, and already has 4 consecutive years of Sweepstakes awards!


Fundamentals camp is up next with our mandatory parent meeting on the second night.  April 29-May 1 from 5-6:30 pm.  Followed by spring concerts, the Stampede Band Banquet, more spring concerts, BISD school board meeting recognitions, graduation, and finally the UIL State Solo & Ensemble contest.  See the schedule below for dates and known times.


Incoming 9th and 11th graders, and anyone new to the band program are required to have a new physical on file before August 1, 2024.  We will be having a Stampede Physical Night here at the LBHS Band Hall area on Thursday, May 5, 2024, from 5-7 pm.  This is an opportunity for you to get a FREE physical done and taken care of before August rolls around.  You will upload your physical and medical history form to Rank One.  You will NOT turn any paperwork into a director.


At the Belton ISD school board meeting on Monday, May 20th, they will be recognizing students who are qualifiers for the UIL State Solo & Ensemble contest.  Please be at the Pittenger Fine Arts Center by 5:50 pm as the school board meeting will begin at 6:15 pm.  Once recognitions are complete, you will be able to leave.
