Honor Band

The Honor Band is the Varsity Band for the Null Band Program.  They perform at several events throughout the school year, as well as various band contests.  The Honor Band has received the coveted UIL Sweepstakes awards, as well as Superior ratings at numerous band festivals around the state of Texas.

Expectations of Honor Band students:

  1. Attend all rehearsals
    During most of the year, these students will have to stay once a week for band practice.  This is a major part of their grade and their membership in the varsity band.
  2. Practice on your own time
    Band rehearsal during class and after school are not the time for a student to learn their part, but rather a time for students to learn how to make their parts sound great when played all together.  For this reason, students need to spend at least 15-30 minutes per day practicing their music and learning their parts.  You will be introduced and given the resources to learn new concepts in class, but these concepts need repetition. Your fellow band members are counting on you to learn your part as soon as possible– YOU MAY stay after school any day Monday – Thursday, until 5:00, to practice with your friends in the safety of the Band Hall. After School Transportation is provided!
  3. Pass your classes!
    Because of the high number of performances and contests we attend, Honor Band students are expected to pass all classes with a 70 or higher in order to legally be eligible to attend competitions.
  4. Have a great attitude
    Honor Band is very fun, very rewarding, and a challenge that we ALL grow through.  We learn music that is harder than the other classes, and we learn at a lot faster pace… Because we are always getting better! The reality of growth is that it will always continue to challenge you, regardless of how good you are, because thats how we get stronger.  The better you are, the Better the Music, the Higher you ACHIEVE!   Trust the process. You must have a “can do” attitude and have excellent rehearsal etiquette so that we can accomplish everything we need to do in a day’s work.
