Aubrey ISD Bands Impress The Association of Texas Small School Bands (ATSSB)
The Outstanding Performance Series (OPS), organized by the ATSSB, is a state-wide annual contest where bands submit recordings of their UIL or festival performances. Bands must pass region and area rounds to reach the state level, which features the top 10 marches and top 15 concert pieces.
This year, our middle school advanced to the state level for the first time with both a march and a concert piece. Our high school's non-varsity band also made history by advancing to the state level in the newly established non-varsity category. Additionally, the Aubrey High School varsity ensemble advanced their march to the state level, marking their fourth advancement after previous successes in 2009, 2012, and 2016.
Remarkably, this year we have five recordings advancing to the state level, a significant increase from the three times Aubrey had ever advanced in the contest's history. The state OPS contest adjudication will take place at the TBA convention at the end of July.

Summer Learning: Fire Safety
This week, the Aubrey Fire Department dropped by our elementary summer school to talk to the kids about fire safety—just in time for the Fourth of July!
Here are five fire safety tips from the United States Fire Administration (USFA) to keep everyone safe this summer:
1. Build Campfires Safely: Make sure campfires are at least 25 feet away from tents, bushes, and anything that could catch fire.
2. Supervise Kids Around Fires: Always keep an eye on kids when there’s a fire pit. They’re curious and might get too close.
3. Store Matches and Lighters Safely: Keep matches and lighters out of kids’ sight and reach. They can be very tempting.
4. Properly Extinguish Fires: Before heading to bed or leaving the backyard, make sure all fires are completely out.
5. Leave Fireworks to the Pros: The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to watch a professional display.
Thanks to the Aubrey Fire Department for the visit and for helping us stay safe!

Excitement Builds as West Family Visits New Elementary School
Carson West, alongside his sister Teresa West Mancuso and brother-in-law Gus Mancuso, visited the construction site of the soon-to-open West Elementary School. Named in honor of their parents, Pete and Myra West, the campus is set to open its doors in Fall 2024.
The Aubrey Independent School District (ISD) Board of Trustees officially approved the naming of Elementary School #4 as Pete and Myra West Elementary School at their March meeting.
