Odem Bands Schedule – Week of 11/3/2025
We want to thank every parent and community member who helped support The Spirit of OHS this year! Saturday, we concluded our season with a fantastic amount of support in the audience, and we’re very grateful for that! The students fell short of our goal, but still delivered an outstanding performance in a competition featuring fantastic bands. In the end, our 17th Place should still be celebrated, as should the many other accomplishments from this past year!
On Friday, we will celebrate our Seniors before the game with our annual senior recognition. Parents/family members who will be escorting students should report to the gate by the scoreboard by 6:45 p.m. We will begin the ceremony on the home side of the field after the team clears from warming up.
We do still need parents to help work the concession stand this final week as well. This week, the students who should have parents helping are: Hayden L., Emilia M., Olivia O., and Robby P. for the first half of the game, and Xzavier P., Ysidro R., Olivia S., Chloe S., and Brayden S. for the second half. If you can’t work your shift, please reach out to Valerie Pena or Belinda Contreras with the Band Boosters.
This weekend will be clear of any events on Saturday, but we still have several upcoming events that will keep us all busy! Next Tuesday, November 11th, The Spirit of OHS will perform for the Annual Veteran’s Day Ceremony, as well as a playoff game at the end of the week. On the evening of November 11th, at 7:00 p.m., we will hold a mandatory trip meeting for all students and their parent/guardian who is signed up for the trip to Orlando in June. We will go over updates we have received, discuss some upcoming deadlines, and touch base with families about what to expect as we approach the trip. Before that, at 6 pm, we will have our monthly band booster meeting. We’d appreciate you joining us for that beforehand, too!
That weekend, on Saturday, November 15th, will be the Region JH Auditions. All eligible members of Odem JH Symphonic Winds must attend that date. We will provide more information on the times they need to be at the JH Band Hall next week!
HS Region auditions will be the 6th of December, and both JH/HS students who are selected will then participating in the clinic/concert on December 12th/13th in Kingsville at TAMUK.
The Odem JH Winter Concert will be held that week on Tuesday, the 9th, and then the HS Winter Concert will be on Thursday the 11th. Both concerts will begin at 6:30 pm.
Thank you all again for all of your help and support this fall!
