Welcome to the W.H. BURGES High School Mustang Band!
Last updated 6/4/19 7:13 AM
Congratulations to the following MUSTANG BAND members that competed in the UIL Texas State Solo and Ensemble Contest in Austin, Texas this past Saturday. Jesse Gallardo earned a Superior (1) rating for his snare drum solo. Giamo Forti earned an Excellent (2) on his french horn solo, Mateo Flores earned an Excellent rating on his marimba solo and Brenda De la Rosa, Everlynn Munoz, Sylvia Quiroz and Irene Valenzuela earned an Excellent rating on their flute solo. A great effort at a very difficult competition. Great Job!
BURGES 2019 SUMMER BAND SCHEDULE
Due to construction issues, the "Stands Music" Camp has been cancelled for this week. We do not have air conditioners. Not just "air conditioning", the air conditioners are no longer there! They will be reinstalled soon. I had mentioned having the camp in another location but it would have been too difficult to guess at what instruments we would need to take to anther location. Please let me know if you have any questions. Posted below is also the "EPISD Physical" form. Students will not be able to participate in our marching days starting JULY 29 without the physical. Band students do not need all the other forms that the sports students need. This physical can be used for athletic sports as well.
