ACL PARKING
Help us get the word out about parking for ACL that is a HUGE fundraiser for the band!! The band will be renting parking spots from the east side parking lot for $40 (CASH ONLY) for the ACL Festival on 10/7.
This is a fantastic parking option - it is less expensive AND closer than most of the other spots that you might see available during that time.
- Call, email or holler out to 3 ACL fans, like your neighbors, friends, family or coworkers and tell them about the best parking in town that completely benefits our band!!

Q & A with Drum Major Nolan Jett
How many instruments do you play? Which is your favorite?
I currently only play the Saxophone and specifically the alto sax but I’m hoping to broaden my horizons soon and learn how to play some more instruments such as clarinet. But my favorite is and always will be the alto sax.
What’s your favorite band memory so far?
So far my favorite band memory is from freshman year when we were at a marching competition in Elgin. We wanted to watch the UT vs OU game and so at lunch we got somebody’s phone and watched it on the upper level of the trailer. We probably had 20 Band kids up there plus Mr. Frock.
What do you like to do for fun?
For fun, I like to do just about anything outdoors but I really like fishing. Actually, to say that I like fishing would be an understatement because it’s definitely my biggest passion and it’s what I think about 99 percent of the time.
If you could have dinner with three people living or dead, who would you choose and why?
I would probably choose the Wright brothers because I’ve always loved aviation, Neil Armstrong, and Lefty Kreh who’s a famous fly fisherman.
What song is at the top of your playlist right now?
This is a tough one but probably Baba O’Riley by The Who.

A Successful Seguin Marching Festival
Austin High School wins Best Visual and Best 5A at the Seguin Marching Festival competition!
We're proud of the students for enduring a very long day, and pulling together enough energy to perform a much stronger and cleaner show during finals! They moved up 2 places from where they were in prelims, so we're very excited for what this says about the quality of the show, AND the quality of the work the students are doing!
