2nd Annual Alumni Band Sheet Music & Recordings
Here is the performance from the inaugural Alumni Pep Band:
The concept for this band is to have fun while reconnecting with old friends and trying to play tunes the band has been known to play in the past. This performance isn't meant to be UIL-worthy, so if you haven't played in years, that shouldn't stop you from joining this special annual group. If you'd like to join, sign up below. If you're a former Drum Major who would like to conduct and play make sure next to instrument you put "Instrument/Conductor". If you'd only like to conduct, just simply put "Conductor" in the instrument field.

Since 2006, the Waltrip Ram Band has featured an all-Alumni Jazz Band at the annual Holiday Concert in December. If you were a member of the Jazz Program (preferably Jazz #1) while you attended Waltrip, we'd love to have you join this special group of individuals. Whether you continue to play or you haven't played since you graduated from Waltrip, the Alumni band has a seat for you. All you have to do is show up.
This year will mark the 5th Anniversary of the Alumni Jazz band and the group wants to put on a performance to end all performances. A special All-Star Alumni Jazz band will be formed. So please keep Thursday, December 2, 2010 and the Waltrip Ram Band in mind when booking your events. The music selections have not been finalized, but practices will be held Tues. - 11/30 and Wed. - 12/1 at 6:30pm. Let's pack the house! For more information contact Jeremy Diggs - jdiggs@houstonisd.org |
