Some of our high school band students were able to participate in the SHSU School of Music Music Major for a Day event today! They were able to observe classes, talk to professors, and sit in on the Wind Ensemble and Jazz Ensemble rehearsals as they prepared for upcoming concerts. And of course, no trip to Huntsville is complete without a trip to the statue of Sam Houston himself! Thank you, SHSU, for hosting a great event!

Our football season has come to an end and so does our marching season. It has been an amazing journey since we first came together in July, and the growth our students have shown both on and off the field has been immeasurable.
Thank you to Sweeny ISD and all of the faculty and staff for their support, to our awesome principals at Sweeny High School for their guidance, to Sweeny ISD Athletics - Home of the Bulldogs, to the Sweeny High School Belles Dance Team for sharing halftime with us, and to our Sweeny ISD Band Boosters Parent Organization for always taking the best care of our band kids.
Most importantly, thank you to every member of the Sweeny High School Band. You all make every late night, early morning, extra rehearsal, and “one more time” worth it. Thank you for letting us push you to be the very best you can be. Your directors are so proud of you!
Now, onto concert season!
