Pearland Junior High South

The PJHS Band had their band camp this past week and the students learned a lot from the band directors after a summer off. Student performed an informal concert capping off their learnings on Friday and then celebrated the end of camp by taking a trip to Dave and Busters. Thank you to everyone who attended the concert!

My amazing South band family,

Today Mr. Bretzke gave me the music score that so many of you signed for me. It meant so much to me. It has been a privilege to work in Pearland the last 20 years. South is a very special place and I am so glad you were part of my time there. I moved to Pearland in 1990 with my mom and dad, and this amazing community has been a huge part of my life the last 35 years.

As you rest this summer and start next year know I am rooting for you. I can’t wait to see the PHS and DHS marching shows next year and follow along with the great things you all do.

What ever you do in life remember to always: “Stay Positive, Work Hard and Make it Happen!”

With love to you all!

Mr. Linder
