Band Buzz: May 12, 2024

Happy mother's day to all of our families! We had a wonderful turnout for the band banquet and had a fun looking back on not just this past year but the journey of our seniors. You will be missed. More pics available towards bottom of the newsletter.

But now it's time to focus on the impending spring concerts and building another great marching show for next year.

We had a great time celebrating the year of student achievement and saying goodbye to the seniors at the Band Banquet on Friday. Special thank you to the Band Council, Chris Rylant, and the parent volunteers that made it happen:

Joy King, Bernie Streeter, April Stoffel, Sam Houston, Larry Rupp, Audrey Tran, Sherry Curren, Angela Kelling , Sam Draper, Cyd Bourg, Laurie & Sam Lampson, Teresa Shurtz, Lisa Stiles, Melissa McKinney, Kristine Samuell – Cookies, Marta & Landry Haile, Lauren Stephens, Allison Orlina (equipment use), Senior Counsel, Ray’s Italian Grill, UHCL IT Team, Ana Pullen, Noah Shaw, Daniel Cervantes, Samantha Kelling, Diane Faulkner, and Chris Hare. Hopefully we didn’t leave anyone out!

Congratulations to our new 2024 Drum Majors: Grayson Batte, Susan Draper, and Emerson Curran! The 2024 Falcon Marching Band is in great hands!
