Dear Travis High School Band & Guard Supporter,
The Travis High School Tiger Band and Guard is already preparing for the 2026-2027 Band & Guard Season and we need your support!
Fort Bend ISD provides essentials for the band that are supported through student fees for the program on top of district funding, but additional music, instruments, travel, and marching equipment are needed to hone the students’ skills to compete at such a high level. This year our band is expected to grow in size by nearly 35% but our funding from the district will remain the same. We also have upfront costs due before we receive the annual district allocation. So we need help from community businesses like you with financial support.
The Travis Tiger Band and Guard is the largest student organization on campus.
Sponsorship funds help close the gap and provide new equipment and additional educational and performance opportunities for students. Your direct support will fund additional expenses such as instrument repair, show uniforms, transportation, and more. This investment benefits students to achieve a higher level of success in academics, behavior, time management, and collaboration – all qualities highly valued by employers like you!
Each student is impacted in significant ways through this program. Read below how one of our students communicates the impact.
"I entered band in high school with little consideration of continuing post-secondary. I met a lot of great people in that program, people who pushed me to do better as a musician. As time passed, my passion for music grew, eventually leading me to become a 2 time All-State musician in the most competitive state for music. I now serve the community that I once assumed a place in reluctantly, being a leader and mentor to those that are in a similar position as mine all those years ago, pushing them to be greater, preparing them to take my place as I take on a music performance major in college."
Our band has done very well in the past, including advancing to Finals at the Regional Bands of America competition and our guard has consistently advanced to state. Our goal this year is to qualify for finals at the UIL Area Marching Contest, achieve Superior ratings during concert season, and progress in the State playoffs for Winter Guard.
The band program needs the financial support of this community to compete at the highest levels. Therefore, we are reaching for the stars with a goal of $25,000 in Corporate and Business Community Sponsorships. Please see the attached sponsorship form for more information. We cannot thank you enough for your generosity!
Sincerely,
Brandon Baca
