Hey, Mustang Family! 

💜💛 SMHS Band Weekly Update 💛💜

October 25 - 31, 2026

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to our Pride of Sunrise Marching Band for taking 1ST PLACE at the Northern Region Championships this past weekend! Not only did our Mustangs bring home the championship, but they also earned 4 OUT OF 5 CAPTIONS! 🎉🥇

It was a challenging day battling the rain and cold weather, but these incredible kids pushed through and gave it their all despite the obstacles. Their dedication, hard work, and perseverance make us SO proud!

A HUGE SHOUT-OUT to our amazing band parents! 👏 You braved the rain right alongside our students, helping keep our kids safe and assisting with props throughout the day. Your time, dedication, and support make all the difference. We truly couldn't do this without you!

THANK YOU for everything you do for our band family! ❤️
