October: AKA BANTOBER! This month is where we begin to have all of our Marching Band Festivals and UIL Marching Band contests that determine whether we advance further through the season. Please understand that at this moment we are still considering exactly which Marching Band Festivals we will compete at. October 5, 12, 23 (unless they move region to the 16), 26, and November 6 we will definitely have marching contests. The two dates we aren't quite certain are October 16 and 19 because we are waiting to find out if we will have the region Marching Band Contest on 10/16, 10/19, or 10/23. We will not have a contest on all three of those days. I will announce when we have finalized these contest dates ASAP. The UIL Region, Area, and State dates will not change.
