Odem Bands Schedule – Week of 1/20/2025
This week will be a light one for us with the bands. Thursday will be a scheduled Wind Ensemble rehearsal in the evening from 6-7:30 pm, but all other after-school stuff will be limited. If you missed the announcement, in advance of the expected winter storm, OEISD has already announced a 2-hour delay for Tuesday morning and is monitoring conditions for any further needed adjustments. They’ll post that information to ParentSquare, Facebook, and the district website.
All trip participants for 2026 to please ensure you have registered on the Bob Rogers Travel site at this time. Current 8th-11th Grade Band Students are eligible to travel on this. We are currently four travelers short of making the next price breakpoint that will drop the trip cost by about $200. If you have considered signing up but haven’t, please do so now! In February, we will make a payment that will lower the trip cost for every registered/deposited student from the boosters.
If you missed the meeting, you may find a copy of the packet here: https://tinyurl.com/msrnkua6 . Registration is still open on their site: https://bobrogerstravel.grcoll.co/v2/go/odem26
Payment options and forms are handled through their website there. I encourage students to attend this trip; it will be an amazing experience for them, and it is only really possible for most of them as a group like this!
