Glenn Band News - Week of 3/18
Announcement for the week of 3/18-23
Hello, Glenn Band Fans!
Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone! We hope that you have had a restful break and are ready to head back to school! This week we celebrate our Indoor Percussion (see more below), and turn our attention to our one-and-only GEMS, who are getting ready to put on their first-ever "Gems Gala" this weekend!
See below for more - we hope that you will come out to see our Gems as they take the stage this Saturday! Ticket information can be found below. In the band world, we continue to prepare for our Pre-UIL Concert as we head closer to our UIL performance in early April.
Have a safe remainder of your time off, and we look forward to seeing everyone back in the band hall soon!
Musically Yours,
The Glenn Band Staff
"GPRs" (Glenn Personal Records)
GPRs are a way to track of progress that the Grizzly Band is making every week. We don't get a chance to tell you about the little "PRs" that are being set all the time in our band program, and these little details go a long way. After all, "excellence is in the details"!
GPRs this week:
INDOOR PERCUSSION BRINGS HOME FIRST IN KATY!
This past Saturday our Glenn Indoor set another Glenn HS record as they brought home first place in Scholastic A Class in both the prelims and finals contests at the WGI Katy Regional! Congratulations to all of the students and staff for this achievement - that makes GHS a two-time WGI Class Champion this year!

GRIZZLIES ON THE BEACH (Band Spring Trip) - April 18-21st
We haven't had a full-band spring trip in quite some time at GHS (since 2019, in fact). Our band students have earned some beach time!
Parents: this trip is a fun getaway for the kids where they will be staying in villas with a group of roommates. There is a lot of free time where the kids will be able to relax at the villas or on the beach! They will also be doing a lot of cooking at their villas as a group; this may sound scary but former students have had a great time on these kinds of trips. This is a favorite trip for other LISD bands and we're excited to finally offer this trip to our Grizzly Band!
Additional details for registering can be found below. Sign up today!
The Grizzly Band is beach-bound in Port Aransas/Corpus Christi!!!
Students, it's time to relax and enjoy the beach in Port Aransas! This is going to be a fun time to unwind and spend time together after our UIL performances. We'll be spending 4 days and 3 nights at the El Constante beachside condos where you'll be staying in resort-style villas with a group of your band buds! Seniors, you will also be getting a special senior golf cart outing!
Details & registration info can be found below - sign up now!
