Bands Guide

Hey, fellow marching band lover!

We're on a mission documenting every competitive High School Marching Band right here in Texas—that's both public and private schools. But we don't stop at the state line—we've got you covered when bands from outside Texas join the fun too.

So, whether they're from just down the road, across state lines, or even from the other side of the country, if they're competing alongside Texas bands, you'll find them right here on our site.

Band Types…

  • High School Band

    • This is the typical type of marching band. It is composed of students from high schools consisting of 2, 3, or 4 grade levels.

    • We list these bands by the name of the high school, its city and state abbreviation.

  • Multiple-High Schools Band

    • Some marching bands combine students from more than one high school.

    • We list all participating schools and locations in the band's name after it’s commonly applied “short name.”

  • Multiple-Bands School

    • A few schools in Texas field more than one marching band, typically varsity and non-varsity bands.

    • We list each band separately with unique names but shared school information.

  • Varsity/Non-Varsity Composite Band

    • Especially in small-enrollment high schools, the marching band might additionally include students from other grades outside the high school level.

    • We don't differentiate these bands in name, but might note it in the conference or class designations for events.

  • Band with School Name Change(s)

    • Schools sometimes change names.

    • When this happens, we add the suffix "formerly" then include all previous school names in the marching band's full name. This helps avoid confusion when viewing historical events.

  • Band from Defunct School

    • Schools can close down.

    • In these cases, we include an asterisk ✽ in the marching band's name indicating this status.
