Found this site in our first year experiencing TX bands- 2016, and lurked through the last two years- and decided to finally jump in and make an account earlier this year after traveling with the band to Indy last year. I'm still trying to learn the in's and out's of scoring. It's my 6th year of having a child in marching band... 3 years in OK and now this is our 3rd year in TX, with another 4 years to go. Maybe by the time our youngest is a senior I'll feel like I can make comments more educated than- that was amazing!

So funny fact- we were told today that the white globes In the Bowie show are the ones from TWHS’s show last year. The rest of the Bowie show we are still trying to figure out... (and we realize after our show last year that’s a little ironic).

I’m with all the girls and TWHS is ecstatic over their prelim 2nd place. So excited to see them and the other top bands tonight!

I just got on to share the great news!! Varsity beat me to the posting... Thank you everyone for your support!

It’s a private community page- for one of the woodlands villages. I don’t think there’s anyway to “show” it- Alden bridge

If nothing happens this year- at least we have gotten people talking about it- in just over 24 hours there are over 200 comments on a community Facebook page talking about it.

that's the extent of what I know as well. I'd love for some support to come from the football team and their parents- but I don't know anyone on the team.

Ah... the pit parents... I usually travel with the chaperone crew. lol! 2015 was right before we moved here

Yes... I figured as much... I'm just one of those- "make sure" people. lol! and Pickle Squirts... well if I hear that as I'm walking through the crowd I guess I'll know who you are... I was emailed back this morning from my email I sent to the principal yesterday. He shared that he will be meeting with the Band Directors and Band Leadership on Monday. I emailed him back thanking him for taking the time to read and reply to my email- and asking him to please go into the meeting with an open mind towards non traditional solutions that would allow all the students to participate fully that day. We shall see what plays out.

Another TWHS parent here. Thank you for any who are willing to send letters and help us raise awareness to the unfairness of this. Another parent suggested in a Facebook post that we could reach out to the local colleges and see if one of their bands might play the football game pep band for us. Does anyone here have any contacts in the Houston area colleges? I’m not an advocate of the band ghosting the football game- we have been telling our kids that their job is to go to the events that Perez states on the schedule- and do their best and have fun and work hard- it’s the parents who will work separately to try and change this for this year and future years.
