Is food provided before Monday Night rehearsals?
No. The band program does not provide a meal before Monday Night rehearsals.
There is a break between the end of school at (4:15pm) and beginning of rehearsal (6pm) which gives students time to coordinate their own meals. Some options that have worked :​
-
some students pack their own dinner

some families trade off dropping off meals

some students drive to pick meals from HEB and nearby restaurants
-
some parents coordinate to have food dropped off outside the band hall
