Panther Band 25-26 Newsletter #11

Weekly Recap

The Sheldon ISD Band Program had a great week of marching band! We had multiple performances of our show Fanta-SEA this past week. On Thursday the students got to perform at Turner Stadium for the C.E. King v. Kingwood Away Game. On Friday, Sheldon ISD's Game Day Live was a huge success. Our students got to perform for all the 5th Graders in the entire district and promote the Band Program.

Our students original performance for October 25th was unfortunately moved to Monday October 27th due to weather conditions. Please come out and support the KHS Band Students at Woodforest Bank Stadium at 8:15AM!

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