McNeil High School Band

Photo Texas will be taking individual photos of our band students in uniform next Wednesday, September 8. Information and order packets will be going out to the students tomorrow September 1 to be returned the day of the photos. These photos are not required but are being done as a service to the parents and students of our band. Please inform your student if you want them to take a picture because most students will opt not to take a photo if given the choice. TA
