The band program at J. Frank Dobie High School has a long-standing tradition of excellence. The Wind Ensemble and Longhorn Marching Band consistently receive Division I ratings and routinely earn Sweepstakes awards (Division I ratings in marching, concert, and sight-reading for an academic year) at Texas U.I.L.-sanctioned contests. These groups have also won numerous best-in-class awards at concert and marching festivals in Texas and throughout the United States.

Help the Dobie Band win a grant for $50,000 for new instruments from the Pepsi Refresh Project

Nov

The Dobie High School Longhorn Band has reached the final voting round in the Pepsi Refresh Project, a program that awards grants to various programs nationwide.  The Dobie Band is eligible to receive a grant award of $50,000 to purchase new instruments, but they require the help of our community to do so!  The grants are awarded based on the number of votes received for the month of November, with the top ten groups receiving the maximum award of $50,000 each.  There are three ways to vote , and all three ways may be used every day (for up to five organizations).

How to vote:   Go to

http://www.refresheverything.com/jfdband

click on “Vote for this idea”, and log on using your Facebook account or registered email address.

Or you can text 110025 to 73774 (Pepsi) on your mobile phone (standard text rates apply)

This is a wonderful way to help your community – last month’s winning organizations had over 17,000 votes each!  Please share this information with as many people as possible.

Go Longhorns!!!
