JET Band Calendar Abbreviations

Anyone who has been around JET Band very long knows that we tend to use a number of abbreviations and acronyms for various events, groups, etc.  The calendar is one document full of such JET Band shorthand.  As a help for new band parents, here are some of the most often used abbreviations and what they mean:

BH - Band Hall
CG - Color Guard
WG - Winter Guard (that's what the Color Guard does after marching season is over)
        And these are the organizations associated with Winter Guard competitions:
            WGI - Winter Guard International
            TCGC - Texas Color Guard Circuit
DM - Drum Major
DI - Drill Instructor (These are the student leaders selected by the directors who help with marching instruction, uniform inspection, etc., during marching season)
DL - Drum Line
FB - Football
THSSO - Taylor High School Symphonic Orchestra (some band students are also chosen to be in this group which consists of top orchestra and band students -- rehearsals are outside of school hours)
