Hello Elkins Band & Guard Family!

As we have a little over a week left in the school year, we are looking forward to celebrating our students and families while also preparing for a smooth close to the academic year.

The Elkins Band & Guard Banquet will be held on Friday, May 22nd from 6:00PM–10:00 PM at Quail Valley Golf Club (2880 La Quinta Dr, Missouri City, TX 77459). The Band Boosters and Directors have put a tremendous amount of planning into this special evening, and it is sure to be a fun and memorable celebration for our students and families.  When you arrive, please stop by the check-in table to pick up your wristband before entering the event. We are excited to celebrate with all of you!

Banquet Dress Code Reminder:  The attire for the evening is Sunday best/business casual. Please no jeans, shorts, T-shirts, or flip flops. School dress code policies will apply.

We also want to remind students about upcoming uniform return deadlines:

• Non–Wind Ensemble students: Your uniforms are due back to the uniform room!  If you have not returned your uniform, please do so as soon as possible to avoid fees and penalties.
• Wind Ensemble students: Please return your uniform by Friday, May 22. You are welcome to return it immediately following the May 21 recording session.

Uniform Reminder:  Please return uniforms by the assigned deadlines to avoid a $100 replacement fee and delays with marching band placement or graduation participation. The Band Hall will not be accessible after the school year ends, so please plan ahead.

Seniors — Time to Clean Out Your Closet!

As you wrap up your time with Elkins Band and Guard, look through your closet for any gently used marching shoes, blue dri-fits, or black shorts you no longer need. If you’d like to pass them along to support future members, we have a donation box available in the uniform room. Your generosity helps keep our program strong—thank you for giving back!

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions that may pop up. The board is here to help!  

It’s a great day to be a Knight!
