The Woodlands High School Band is excited to be taking the field once again having gained highest honors this past year. Our band is
consistent year to year with individual members gaining recognition in Region, Area, and All State Bands. The Woodlands High School
Marching Band has also been a Texas State Marching Band Contest Finalist. In Bands of America competitions, our band has been a regional
finalist 24 consecutive times. In 2006 at the Bands of America Grand Nationals in Indianapolis, we were named the BOA Class AAA Champions.
In 2007 we returned to Indianapolis to compete in the BOA Grand Nationals and placed fourth in the nation.
Our Winter Guard is a former State and WGI World Champion. The Wind Ensemble has performed at the BOA National Concert Band Festival, the State
Wind Ensemble Contest, the Western International Band and Orchestra Clinic, the prestigious Midwest Clinic in Chicago and last spring
traveled to New York to play at Carnegie Hall. This spring our band will host its fourth consecutive Chamber Music Festival, which is always
an overwhelming success. The Woodlands High School Band is a proud recipient of the Sudler Flag of Honor.
These accomplishments would not be possible without generous donations and support from local businesses and individuals and the endless
support of our parents.
