Band Update - July 10, 2020
Dear THS Band Students and Parents,
I hope this finds you all healthy and well, as we all manage these times as best we can. I, like you, am missing the band activity, and I can't wait to get back to making music with you, students! I miss seeing and working with our entire band family very much!
With things changing so frequently, we have been working hard to find ways to provide the best possible band experience for students this fall. Unfortunately, due to the current state of our community and the related district suspension of athletics/activities, we will have no choice but to cancel all band events until at least August 10. This will mean no leadership training day on July 29, no Mini Camp on July 30 and 31, and no full band camp August 3 through 7. This also means no summer color guard or percussion rehearsals until further notice, and no summer fundraising.
At this time, we have not rescheduled any summer events for later dates, and there are no current plans to do so. We do not know what the fall will look like when it comes to rehearsals, performances, competitions, or even class periods. Students, whatever type of performance ensemble we are able to have, your selected positions and roles will remain in place as best we can! I know this isn't the news you wanted to hear, and the minute we can get back to "normal" band, I promise we will! I want to thank you all in advance for your patience and flexibility. I know we will find a way to continue to have wonderful music experiences in the Timberline band program, but I'm not sure yet exactly what that will entail. I hope to have more information for you all in the next month. Until then, enjoy the summer and I will see you all (I hope) on the first day of school, or perhaps before.
All my best,
Mr. Rodriguez

Jazz Ensembles and Wind Symphony Rosters
2020 THS Marching Ensemble Leadership/Band Council Roster
Dear applicants, thank you for your enthusiasm and willingness to serve the THS band program. We had a record number of applicants, even given the current circumstances. I am truly, genuinely proud of each of you for applying! The decisions were very difficult, as always, because we have so many wonderful students and there were so many factors to take into consideration. We have also added and modified some positions this year to increase leadership opportunities and fill some areas in need for our program as we grow. If you were not selected for a position, please consider leading the ensemble in some capacity, such as applying for band council representative, or a crew leader position. Those positions are also incredibly important to our success! If you have questions or are seeking feedback, please contact me and I will be happy to go through anything with you that you'd like. Take care, everyone!
