Panther Band 25-26 Newsletter #8

Weekly Recap


The Sheldon ISD Band Program had a fantastic week! Our MS Band Programs were able to visit the HS for our Homecoming Game and participate with us in the stands. Our HS Marching Band performed in the KHS Homecoming Parade and in the KHS Pep Rally. Our HS Drumline, Low Brass Quartet, and Saxophone Ensmble represented the band at the Sheldon ISD State of the District Luncheon.


The KHS Marching Band had three amazing performances of their show, "Fanta-Sea." They performed Friday in at our Homecoming Game in Panther Stadium, and twice on Saturday at the US Bands Houston Regional in Challenger Stadium. We would like to congratulate our students on making US Bands Finals for the FIRST TIME in school history. They earned 8th Place Overall. Congrats once again to our marching band students on your historic performance this weekend.


Thank you to the teachers, students, and family members that made this week possible.
