Band

The Shepton Band has earned a reputation for consistently demonstrating the highest level of performance and our students take pride in always doing their best. Our ensembles consistently earn Sweepstakes at UIL and have been named Outstanding Ensemble, Best in Class, and Best in Festival at contests in Dallas and San Antonio. We work hard and we have a lot of fun! Our students take AP and Honors classes and participate in many different sports, clubs, and other student groups at Shepton. There are no academic or athletic programs that conflict with participation in band. Band will fit into every schedule!

The Shepton Band program includes several performing ensembles:

• Wind Ensemble
  
• Symphonic Band
  
• Concert Band
  
• Percussion Ensemble
  
• Jazz Ensemble
  
• Color Guard
  
  

These band courses provide an opportunity for students to continue instrumental development at an intermediate/advanced level. This band will perform as a part of the total band program at all designated football games, pep assemblies, parades, marching contests, concerts, and festivals. Time will be required outside of class for rehearsals, trips, and other engagements. Attendance at all outside of school rehearsals and performances is required. This is a full-year course and an audition is required. See the Shepton Band website for additional information.
