Wharton High School Bands

We've been having a great time getting our field show ready and performing it. Enjoy these pictures from the recent game at Plant High School (which the Wildcats won 42-0! 🏈). BIg game tomorrow against Tampa Bay Tech!

A blast we had celebrating these seniors last night! May the force be with them 😉.

Thanks to everyone who came out to our Concert in the Courtyard. We were thrilled to be able to share some music with you and to be able to debut our new uniforms. It was a little bittersweet as this was the last time we will play with our seniors. Best of luck to all as they graduate this week. We will miss you!!

Our new uniforms have arrived!

A sharp, modern take on classic design!

We can’t wait to take the field and the stage in them this fall!

Dear Parents, Students, and Alumni of the Wharton High School Band Program,

I am pleased to announce that our new band uniforms are on the way! We are very excited about receiving them soon!
Many folks have asked about what will happen to the old marching uniforms. We are now taking LIMITED, FIRST COME/FIRST SERVED PRE-ORDERS for WHS Band Uniform Pillows which are being created from actual WHS Band Uniforms!

The old uniforms are shipped off to the company that made them, and instead of our old uniforms being taken to a warehouse where they will never be used again, you have the very limited-time opportunity to put an old uniform to good use in your home, college dorm, or anywhere else as your very own marching uniform pillow! A sample is seen above.

Old uniforms are in a limited quantity and for now we are limiting sales to a maximum of two per family. Pillows are $60 each, which covers the cost to ship them to DeMoulin (uniform company), create the pillow, and ship it back, while making the band some profit to go toward our next year’s budget.

If you would like to purchase a uniform pillow, please complete the order form below and either send it in with your student, or mail it with your check (written out to WHS Band Boosters).

Orders will be taken until April 1 . Cash orders will be accepted as long as it is sent in with your
order form with a student.

Pickup for Alumni Orders: You will be notified when your pillow is ready to be picked up from Wharton High School!

Current Student/Family Orders will be given to students at school.

Sincerely,
Justin Swaim
Director of Bands
