 Another Friday, another home game!!!  The band has been very busy this year.  We will be back "in action" on Friday, October 4th as the Cobras take on the Troy Trojans.









We are so appreciative of the new lights in the Cobra Stadium!
We no longer have to haul out and connect lighting for the band!!!

Pep Band Rocks!!!!

 
The Jackson Heights High School Pep Band has been "Rockin' the School" since the first day!!!  We have performed for the Fall Pep Rally and the first home football game.  We are preparing to play this Friday once again!  The band plays well together and enjoys the camaraderie of hanging out with other musicians!
There are also members of the band that are preparing to audition for the North East District Honor band in November and this is quite an extensive audition process.
Mrs. Holliday is proud of all the band members and the effort they put forth!
