- ALL students trying out for All-Region should have their money in the safe. If you did not turn in your money, you are late--GET IT IN ASAP!!

Pit Crew Scholarship
The Pit Crew Scholarship is now available on the band website. Current seniors in the band program may apply. Deadline to apply is November 15, 2019.
“The Pit Crew Scholarship recognizes and rewards seniors of the Grapevine High School (GHS) Mustang Band who exemplify what might be called the “pit crew work ethic” – working behind the scenes, doing unglamorous but necessary work, without seeking a reward other than helping the band. In particular, the scholarship seeks to reward band members who maintain good academic standing through the school year and who unselfishly support the band with no intent for self-promotion.”
BOA Grand Nationals
All 6 bands from Texas advanced to the semifinals that starts at 5:15AM tomorrow. BOA Finals will be held tomorrow evening. #TeamTexas
