There's only so much you can do unfortunately, especially in the small school setting, between now and early April. The date that Easter is this year has the week before our UIL contest all crunched with athletic events, District OAP, Academic UIL, and who knows what else? I have a few superstars who do everything that I know I won't see much that week at all.
I knew all of that going into things though, so I forced myself not to play up as many levels with music as I might have in a different situation. Now that TEA has made a massive testing window for STAAR/EOC, it's not becoming any easier. Sounds like you're doing the only other thing I can think of which is after school. The Saturday idea another poster made might be an option? Athletic coaches stopped wanting to do things on weekends, so there are more Saturdays open now than there used to be in the spring.
