Spring Trip - Sign Up Now!

Thank you to all of those who have signed up for our Spring Trip this year!

So far we have only a handful of people sign up for our "band vacay". The Grizzly Band hasn't been on a spring trip in a LONG time (since 2019, to be exact!). You won't want to miss it! See more details below.

   The Grizzly Band is beach-bound in Port Aransas/Corpus Christi!!!

We're excited to announce our optional but highly encouraged Spring Trip to Port Aransas! This is going to be a relaxing and fun time to unwind and spend time together after our UIL performances. We'll be spending 4 days and 3 nights at the El Constante beachside condominiums and enjoying the beach!

Seniors will also be getting a special senior golf cart outing!

Details & registration info can be found below. Registration is now open!

Truck-or-Treat w/ the Grizzly Band!   

Since we'll be having rehearsal on October 31st this year, we thought it would be fun to offer up a "Truck or Treat" for our Grizzly Band students after rehearsal from 7:00-7:50pm!

Setup will be from 6:00-7:00pm during rehearsal in the student parking lot directly across from the band pad.

All parents are invited to come by and hand out some candy to our favorite trick-or-treaters as they finish up rehearsal - we would love to get a big crowd of Grizzly Band families there to hand out some treats to our hard-working and candy-deserving kiddos.
