New Leadership team for 2025-2026 school year. Congratulations to these students! Results

Everyone will need to place supply orders on Thursday after Spring Training concludes. Each parent/guardian will receive a form on their way into the meeting that is pre populated with each student’s name, grade, and package they will be needing for the upcoming marching season.

We have created an FAQ for y’all to look through that will hopefully answer any questions you may have. Booster parents will be available on Thursday evening if you have any that aren’t answered here. Or feel free to email the beforehand at uniforms@grapevinehsband.com

Supply Order FAQs

Marching season is right around the corner! Please review the following documents to help you prepare for spring training! The first installment of band fees was due on May 1st. Please see the Letter of Intent and Spring/Summer checklist for additional guidance.

The Uniform Team needs your help at Spring Training!
