Future Member Meeting

-or-
Tuesday, March 11th, 2025, 7PM
Please join us at the Crowley HS band hall for a Future Member Meeting! This will be a brief overview of high school band and an opportunity to ask any questions you have.
Both meetings are the same, attend one or the other. This meeting is designed for current 8th grade students and their parents. Younger students are welcome to attend.
Auditions
Auditions will take place during band classes at CHS, HFS, and RAMS during the spring semester. Students joining us from other schools please email christopher.dunning@crowley.k12.tx.us for an appointment.
Audition packets will be distributed to students early in the spring semester.
Spring Training
April 25-26, 2025
Spring Training is required for all members of the band, new or returning. Students will learn marching fundamentals and music for the fall marching show, try on uniforms, and order supplies for the fall. We have designed this experience to prepare you for success throughout the fall season. Camp attendance determines how many spots we will write for the fall field show, it is important that you attend camp to be counted! Saturday will conclude with a student performance.
Physicals
A physical exam is required for all marching band members. This is the same physical required for athletics. The easiest and most convenient option is the CHS Physical Event on Tuesday, May 6th from 4-5PM. If you cannot attend, any doctor can perform your physical, but must use the provided form.
Physical form (updated for 2025): https://www.uiltexas.org/files/athletics/PrePhysFormRvsd2024.pdf
The district requires that all students complete their medical forms in RankOne. Upload your medical history (checkbox side of the form), physical exam (doctor side of the form), and complete the signature page and emergency release.
More detailed instructions for RankOne are here:

Summer Rehearsals
Every Tuesday in June, 6-8PM, Richard Allie MS.
Come see your friends and make some music all summer long! Attend as many as you can. Learning the music early will give you a head start on the fall season and help us all be a better band.
2025 Tuesday rehearsals moved to Richard Allie MS due to construction.
