From Mr. Woods:
Hello Tiger Band Family,
Thank you to all who came out for the Parent Social and the Parent Preview Performance on Saturday. We were excited to get to show off all the hard work the students have been putting in the past 2 weeks, and I hope that you got to meet some new people.
It's time to say goodbye to our Seniors. This time of year never gets any easier for me, and this group of Seniors makes it particularly difficult by being such a great class of amazing individuals. We love you, I love you, and wish you all the best in the next phase of your life.
Don't forget to sign your student up for the BOA Indianapolis trip on the TMF Payment Portal - May deposit of $100 is overdue, and the June payment is due soon. See link above to access the portal.

President's Update
Howdy Tiger Band Families!
As we head in to the last week of school, I’m sending my final message as band booster president. It has been great to work with you all over the past two years to plan and grow our fundraisers and help ensure each of the activities we support. For those that were at the parent social yesterday you know that’s a long list of activities and they’re successful because of each and every one of you giving your time and energy to support the band program. A special thank you to Leischen Hunsicker, Gina Bisett, Shannon MacAlpine, Mark Glass, and Caryn Pacelli that as the booster Secretary, Treasurer, or VP Operations kept me on track and made sure nothing was missed.
There will be a band booster meeting including all new VPs and event leads on June 1 at 6:30pm in the band hall. There’s a lot happening behind the scenes planning registration, summer band, and Thunder in the Hills in June and July. Please keep an eye out for planning meetings and calls for volunteers for these events so we start the next season strong!
My youngest kid will be a Junior in the Tiger Band next year, so I’ll see you in the concession stand, contest parking lots, and volunteering at our other events!
Go Tiger Band!

HEB Gift Cards Fundraiser Info
Good news- we made it back to $10,000 sales = $300 profit last month.
Not so good news- Pre-Covid days we had
~$25,000 in sales= ~$1000 profit per month.
Back to more good news- Mr. Woods just reported our band has grown to 215 students so this will make it much easier to reach and surpass sales of $25,000.
PLEASE do your part and start getting a gift card every month to use at HEB instead of your credit card. If you’re going to spend money at HEB, you might as well help your children’s band program while spending. HEB generously gives back 3-5% back to our band!!! It’s money waiting to be given to our very hard working and dedicated band students’ program.
Sign up for your gift cards today:
Thank you!!
Laurie Darilek & Jennifer LaRochelle
Panda Express Day
This Tuesday, May 23rd, Panda Express will donate 50% of sales to the Tiger Band when you either show them our flier (linked below or the paper form you picked up from us on Saturday!) or order online with the code 354358 in the fundraiser box.
You can dine-in or carry out, it all counts!
This is a great opportunity to support the band and feed your family all at the same time!
