Congratulations to our pep band members! These students are going to represent the band at pep rallies, football games, and more!
We have been asked to play at the remaining Leonard football games. There will be transportation provided, but please be patient regarding times because I haven't been sent that information yet. Here are the dates below:

Pep Band students are responsible for bringing water and learning their pep band songs. If a student wants a practice tool for their songs, they will need to log onto musicfirst.
9/26/25
Who is participating?
All current 8th grade students in the Leonard Band Program
Where is 8th grade night?
This year we are going to bus our 8th grade students to Handley Stadium on the east side of Fort Worth
What is 8th grade night?
This is an amazing opportunity for our 8th graders to get an idea of what marching band is like. They have been learning songs that they will get to play in the stands with the Western Hills Marching Band! Then, during halftime, our Longhorns will play 'Crunch Time' on the field!
How long is 8th grade night?
We will be staying at the football game from kickoff to the end of haltime. Parents are welcome to attend, and you can take your child home after the performance. We will bus our students back to Leonard following the performance if parents are unable to go to the game.
Will my child be fed?
The marching band will provide snacks, and if your student participates in afterschool program they may get a snack. If you would like for them to have dinner, that must be brought to the school. I ask that all 8th graders stay with me after school until departure.
What do they wear?
They will need their 25-26 8th grade gray shirt that was provided for them this year. They will need to wear blue jeans and athletic/closed toed shoes. If the forecast has high temperatures around 6 pm we will allow our students to wear athletic shorts.
What does my child need?
They will need their instrument, binder, and a water bottle.
