S.F. Austin High School -Special Recognition

Posted by Goldy_1914 on March 25, 2010 at 8:29am

The 29th Congressional District officially nominated the Stephen F. Austin "Sonic Boom" Marching Band from Houston, TX to participate in the 2011 National Independence Day Parade in Washington, D.C as one of only 3 bands to represent the State of Texas.   Congratulations to those who pioneered this band program and congratulations to the students who worked hard to represent the East End.  

 

This is a huge thing for Austin and HISD considering 5 years ago, there was no band program at the school. So once again congrats, now we have to raise $90,000 to pay for the trip.

    Honestly I dont even know where to start. $90,000 is a huge amount to raise. I think we can do it though. We raise about $10000 annually for general band expenses: Drum heads, uniforms cleaned, camps, repairs etc. WIth the new 8th graders coming in, they will have to fall right in and get to work..

    You guys know that anything you donate to a school is considered tax deductible. So if you donate a couple of benjamins to the Austin Band, Uncle Sam will give you back most of it.
