Well, we didn't get a post done at the end of the first week, so this is a "catch up" post! As you heard announced after the halftime show in Lockney this past Friday, our Section of the Week was our saxophone section...what an amazing group of students! They are a prime example of the effort what it takes to perform at a high level. Also announced was our "Pumpjack Award" winner, Riley Driver, who is actually a brand new member of the Roughneck Band this year! Riley is a senior who has made an immediate positive impact on our band...he is always striving to be the very best he can be and is someone who anyone would want on their team. And one more...our Rookie of the Week is Kale Strickland! Kale is an 8th grader in the Roughneck Band and is a super hard worker, already covering some "1st parts" in the stands at games. Kale comes to every rehearsal with a great attitude!
Congratulations to Riley, Kale, and the saxophone section! SHOUT OUTS The shout out for this week goes to our drivers...Rene Rivera, Kayla Belew, Lacy McAdams, and Hunter Stanley. We are about to travel many miles for the next football game, and these dedicated individuals don't bat an eye. Our show doesn't go "on the road" without these wonderful people! GAME DAY INFO This week has us traveling to Dalhart to rough up the Wolves! Kickoff is at 7:00 pm on Friday. Other information has been sent to each band student's school email account. Have a fantastic week!

Another summer has flown by, and we now welcome you to another Roughneck Band marching season! We have had a great two weeks of Summer Band rehearsals and Oil Patch Parade, and now we are excited to begin preparations for our 2023 marching show, "The Road Home". Our show is arranged once again by Randall Standridge and features the music of John Denver and Garth Brooks. Get ready for those "Sundown Sounds" and some familiar scenery on the field!
Drum Majors this year will be Danny MacDonald, Ericka Posadas, and Emily Rodgers. Check out their bios by clicking on "Our Staff" at the top of this page! The "Important Info" link at the top of the page will take you to links to our band calendar for the year, the band handbook, our Facebook page, and other...well..."important info"! The link to the calendar is a live link, so each time you click on it, it will include any updates we've made. We hope to update this blog on a weekly basis. Our Facebook group is where you will find the most up-to-the-minute information. It is a closed group, so you will need to request access. We also have a Remind group for students and parents to receive text message alerts...contact Mr. Mauldin if you would like to have access to this feature. Let's make this another great year for the Roughneck Band! |
