On Saturday, November 5th the Wolf Band will be hosting its first EVER marching band competition. While slightly smaller than the competitions we have done thus far this is still a VERY big deal for Davenport High School and will require a large number of volunteers to make it happen. We are looking for any and all volunteers that would be willing to donate their time to ensure the competition is a success! Check our Facebook page for more info or click here to sign up as an adult to help.

We will be performing in exhibition so our students can volunteer before and after the performance. Our final competition will be the UIL State Marching Band Competition on November 9th. Students that would like to volunteer need to sign up on the volunteer sign up sheet in the front of the band hall.
