If you have not made your personal $250 goal, we are extending the deadline for individual donations! Remember that business sponsorships are now closed.

This will be the first time the GEB will be in full marching uniforms! Students will need to bring their compression shirts, GEB shorts, and long black socks to wear with the MTX marching shoes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember: Full uniform means no jewelry, and only natural hair color tones allowed. Any visible piercings will need to be removed and\/or replaced with clear studs if necessary. No finger rings, watches, bracelets, etc. will be permitted while in marching uniform. Please make plans now so that this is not a surprise on the 23rd of September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parents: we would love to have you in the stands cheering on the GEB as we add to our show each week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Friday, September 24<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>State-wide Eligibility Check<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though we are on a 9 week grading period, UIL mandates that all Texas school districts do an eligibility check at the end of the first 6 weeks of the school year.

In addition, on the day of UIL, there will be a PSAT administration on campus that includes most Juniors and some Sophomores. Because of these rehearsal constraints, we have a special morning marching rehearsal on Monday, October 11. There is no school this day, but this rehearsal is an integral part of our success at UIL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note: This <strong><em>is not a change<\/em><\/strong> to the original published calendar from last May.
