Welcome to the Hays Bands Website

Thanks for visiting haysbands.org. We hope you find what you are looking for and enjoy reading about the band programs at Hays High School, Barton Middle School, and Dahlstrom Middle School - some of the best band programs around! Thanks for being a band booster and we would love to see you get involved with the volunteer opportunities this year. The band is the largest student organization at each of the schools and it takes quite an effort from all of us to make it successful. Thanks again, cheers, and Go Rebels, Bobcats, and Mustangs!

Announcements

  • The school board adopted the bond recommendation from the Growth Impact Committee. If you want details and to know next steps please visit the bond webpage.
  • For you curious types out there... The UIL officially announced the cutoff numbers for sports and music conferences. We are going to have to work extra hard as we move up to the new 6A. Go Rebels! Also moving up from our district is Lehman and Schertz Clemens. District alignments will be announced on February 3.
  • Do you have a great idea for a fundraiser to help us raise money for a new equipment trailer? Fixing the current one to be leak free would be expensive so let's aim high and see if we can raise enough money for something "newsed!" Email Jennifer Watts or Christie Loosier with your great ideas or just that you would like to help.
  • Winter Guard (WG) - schedule posted to the WG Page
  • Becky Tenney is looking for senior pictures.  If you haven't gotten those to her yet she is now accepting them. Due date for them is the last day before Christmas break. Contact her at bgtenney007@yahoo.com.  Thank you!
  • Boosters - be sure and check your subscription choices for the Band Notes email! Click on the Email/Newsletter link under the Parents tab and follow the instructions.
