Ultimate Drill Book
All students marching drill (winds, battery, color guard) will need to access UDB (ultimate drill book) on their mobile device. Cost is $10 per student (cash or check to Seguin HS Band Boosters). We have moved completely digital for drill learning so students will only be able to access coordinates on the UDB App. Students will be trained on how to use the application. Fee is due on August 15. Students are also encouraged to have a fanny-pack to hold mobile device and side-walk chalk for drill learning.

- The best band programs in Texas have very established private lesson programs. We started providing some master class opportunities last school year and saw tremendous growth. However, group master classes do not match the level of growth offered by private lessons. Private lessons are strongly encouraged for all band students, as they provide consistent one-on-one instruction for students, which is crucial at all times in a student’s development as a young musician. Please consider signing up for private lessons by completing the google form below.
