Advancement to Area!
Congratulations to the students on a terrific performance at the UIL Region 24 Marching Contest!
The students earned a division 1 rating from all three judges on Saturday and were awarded “sweepstakes” and advancement to the Area Marching Contest.
The students will be performing at the Area Marching Contest at 2:30pm on Saturday. The contest will be held at the Little Elm ISD Athletic Complex. We hope to see you there!!!
I want to personally thank all of the AMAZING parent volunteers from the past events this season! We cannot survive as a program without your endless help!!
Again, THANK YOU to all the amazing donors for our Fan Pledge event. The online donation portal is still open for another 12 days. Please help reach our next goal! THANK YOU!

Event Volunteer Signups
Thanks to everyone volunteering at the games and contests. You are an important part of this organization.
We did get our concessions slots filled last week, THANK YOU, but looking forward, we have only 3 spots filled for the Heritage game on 11/2. It is also Senior night and those parents need have the opportunity to enjoy that time with their student. The band performs post game as a farewell performance before they leave for San Antonio. It will be the last time it is performed in Frisco. So no one will miss this performance even if working concessions!!
If you haven't made the choice to volunteer this season please join us! We need you!
