Panther Band 25-26 Newsletter #12

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 Monday our band performed at Wood Forest Bank Stadium for the UIL Area F Marching Contest Prelims. Our students earned their highest placement in our program's history. Congratulations students on a historic finish to the season.

On Friday we celebrated our Seniors at our last official District Home Game. Thank you seniors for the year(s) of dedication you've given our program.

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