Welcome to the Mighty Mason Puncher Band Homepage!
CONGRATS to the MMPB!!! TWO YEARS IN A ROW qualifying for the State Marching Contest!!! And we have a streak of 6 years of sweepstakes!!! Now we are getting ready to start the new year and looking to make it a three-peat! Dates and schedules have been updated. Most things have been set - a few things are still to be determined. If you have any questions about anything please contact Mr. H.
Last year was a heck of a successful year and we are looking forward to this one!! The MMPB advanced to the State Marching Contest this past fall for the second time in a row!!! We had a great performance, but unfortunately wasn't what the judges were looking for to make it to finals. Still a heck of an accomplishment to make it there 2 times in a row out of our ridiculously tough area!! And we'll all always remember that area contest - finishing 10th place in prelims and barely qualifying for finals and then jumping all the way to 4th place to make it to state! I'll never forget that moment!!! It was a heck of an experience! Then in the spring the MMPB received all 1's and that gave us a sweepstakes for the 6th year in a row!!
This coming fall the MMPB will be working towards another state marching band trip! We will be working on our show "Uncharted Waters" this fall in anticipation of the practice contest in Fredericksburg on September 30th, Region marching contest on October 19th, then Area in Groesbeck on November 2nd, and hopefully to state on November 12th.
Christmas concert is tentatively planned for December 12th and will involve the HS, JH, and possibly 6th grade bands. And then in the spring we are looking for a contest/trip for the JH Band this spring and will put out more information about that once we figure out where and when we can take them. All bands (5th, 6th, JH, HS) will perform at the spring concert which is right now scheduled for May 6th.
I'm not the best at keeping things updated on here, so if you are looking for specific info on something you can try our facebook page or just contact me directly. Email me (
[email protected]) or call the band hall (325-347-1122, ext 227) and leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!
