The board officially approved the travel budget and our bands are heading to Grand Nationals. Seeing my kids get this chance to perform on the national stage means the world to me. Thank you for helping me secure this opportunity for the entire district.

After another great season by all the BISD Marching bands, the 2017 season is coming up fast! This past year, all the schools attended the Bands Of America Super Regional in St. Louis, Missouri. They had the great pleasure of bumping into one another along with watching each school's show during the competition.
The last time these 3 bands have attended Grand Nationals was: Richland in 2007, Haltom in 2002 and Birdville has not attended Grand Nationals.
With as much fun as all the kids had in St. Louis, I think it would be an amazing experience if all 3 schools went to Grand Nationals next November. This contest would allow each student the pleasure of competing with the top bands around the country! Along with getting to experience it with their fellow BISD Band Family!
Please sign this petition to hopefully allow the students of the BISD Marching Bands the great honor of performing at the 2017 Grand National Championships.

Seeing 250 names on this list feels incredible because I know exactly how much work these kids put into their shows. It is heartening to see so many people backing my students on this journey to Indianapolis.

Watching the signature count climb reminds me of the pride these students felt in St. Louis. We are almost at the one hundred mark and I need you to pass this link to your neighbors so we can show the district how much the community cares about our musicians.

I got to participate in grand nationals 3/4 of my highschool years with the pride of broken arrow. It was hands down one of the greatest experiences ever. Performing at Lucas Oil just gives you such great vibes and energy. I hope to see you all performing there next year
It's such an amazing experience to go to meet so many other great bands and to see how far you have come through out the season. it's breath taking to walk into the stadium and performing something you spent a long time on and to see your result on a long hard working season!!!!
From a Broken Arrow Pride Parent's perspective: Being able to watch your child perform along with band programs from around the country is a truly amazing experience: for you and your child. You'll see these kids perform better than they ever have; something about how the competition factor has risen exponentially brings out the best in these kids. I wish every band program could experience this.
I have some friends from Richland High School and I would really like to see them along side me at grand nationals next year!
Great idea. It's been too long since one of us has gone to represent birdville ISD at the National level.
It's an amazing experience!!! Hope you get to go!!
GOOD LUCK!!!!

Even if these bands don't make the top 12.. Grand nationals is still an experience no kid would ever forget. I just ended my senior year on rifle at homestead in Fort Wayne Indiana and I can easily say attending grand nationals is my most favorite memory.
