Leadership Application Form (Google Form)
Five Teacher Recommendations (Google Form)
Scale Pass-Off/Interview (link to scales below)

Applicants who have been selected are announced at the Splendora HS Band Banquet
It is a great honor to be a student leader in the Splendora Band program. All leaders will lead by EXAMPLE, not by TITLE. Student leaders will exist to support the band directors and to serve the band program. Being a student leader is a very time-consuming role and will extend beyond just band practices. To serve on the band leadership team at Splendora HS is not only a tremendous honor, but it is also a great responsibility that requires patience and training.
Students who are selected to be in the leadership team for the Splendora HS Band are required to attend the SASI Leadership Training. We are fortunate that SASI brings their staff to our school to train our leadership team. The date for the SASI Leadership Training is located on the band calendar.
