News

Harper Longhorn Band softball/baseball concession stands

One of the biggest fundraisers for the Harper Bands is the concession stand! Without a successful concession stand, the band programs would be without uniforms, working instruments, experience opportunities that have be afforded to our students in the past, and much more! Each HS student is required to work one shift. We also need parent volunteers as well. Please scan the QR code below to check out the opportunities where you can help!

 

San Antonio Spurs game!

The Harper Mighty Longhorn Band will have a pep band participate in a concourse performance at a San Antonio Spurs game! Mark your calendars because this game is on April 7 th! ANYONE is able to attend and enjoy the  game!
