About the Bridgeland High School Band

Established in 2017, the Bridgeland Band is a 6A program with over 300 wind, percussion, and colorguard members. It is located at Bridgeland High School in Cypress-Fairbanks ISD on the northwest side of Houston. CFISD is consistently awarded the “Best Communities for Music Education” national designation from the NAMM Foundation.
The Bridgeland Marching Band competes at contests throughout the fall season, including various UIL and BOA events. The Bridgeland Band is a regular BOA Regional finalist and was named a finalist at the BOA San Antonio Super Regional in 2023. The program was named UIL Area I Champions in 2021 and 2023, and they have advanced to the 6A UIL State Marching Championships in San Antonio for four consecutive years. Bridgeland advanced to the 6A State Finals for the first time in 2023.
Bridgeland has five concert bands, four of which compete at the UIL Concert and Sightreading Evaluation each year. The bands have earned Sweepstakes ratings every year since the school opened, and in 2023 the Wind Symphony was named a Mark of Excellence Commended Winner. Band members participate in the TMEA All-Region and All-State audition process, as well as UIL Solo & Ensemble in the Spring. The band also collaborates with the Bridgeland Orchestra to create the Bridgeland Symphony Orchestra, which was invited to perform at the 2023 Midwest Clinic in Chicago.
The Bridgeland Colorguard and Percussion have shown great success at TCGC and WGI competitions during their winter seasons. In 2022, the Indoor Percussion was a finalist at TCGC State Championships, and the Varsity Guard was a finalist at WGI World Championships in Dayton, OH.
