⚠️ Action required: Key tasks to knock out this week

As we gear up for an amazing year, we have a few actions items that need your attention now:


1️⃣ Verify your Plano.Band account

  • Please log into your Plano.Band account and confirm that your student shows as an active member.
  • If they are not listed as active, you will not receive Booster emails or newsletters — and we don’t want you to miss anything.

👉 Plano Band website


2️⃣ Review updated Band Bylaws

  • Our Band Bylaws have been updated, and we will need to vote to accept these updates at the upcoming Parent Meeting Thursday, July 30.

👉 2026-2027 Plano Senior High School Band Boosters Bylaws 


3️⃣ Attend mandatory parent meeting — Thursday, July 30

Please join us for our first big meeting of the year:

  • Thursday, July 30 @ 7 p.m. in the PSHS Auditorium

🍗 Cane’s Cluster Spirit Night — Monday, Aug. 3

Come out to support our first Spirit Night of the 2026-2027 school year for the Clark, Plano, and Vines Bands!

🎺 Join us at Twilight Concert — Friday, Aug.14

Come celebrate this time-honored Plano Band tradition as we kick off the start of marching season with an evening of music, community, and school spirit! Featuring performances by the Vines, Clark, and PSHS Bands.

🍗 Pre‑order your Raising Cane’s meal ticket for Twilight Concert by Aug. 9!

We are excited to partner with our Wildcat Conductor Sponsor, Raising Cane’s, to offer pre‑paid meals at the Twilight Concert.

What to know:

  • Meals are ONLY available by pre‑order.
  • No meals will be sold at the event.
  • A percentage of each meal benefits the Plano Cluster Band Programs, and all meals will be picked up directly from the Raising Cane’s food truck on site at Clark Stadium. 
  • Grab your dinner and enjoy a phenomenal show from our Clark, Vines, and Plano Bands!

🍩 Enjoy a sweet treat after the show

After the concert, stop by the Smo’s Donuts Truck in the Clark Stadium parking lot and support our amazing Color Guard. A portion of every purchase goes directly to the Cluster Color Guard.

🙌 Ready, set, volunteer!

The Plano Band has a very full and exciting year ahead, and we can't wait for you to be a part of it. We have lots of opportunities and would love for every parent to be able to help in at least one area. It is a great way to meet people, and we have a lot of fun too!

🤝 Sponsorships — spread the word!

The Plano Senior High, Clark, and Vines Bands invite local businesses to partner with us for the 2026–2027 marching and concert season. Sponsorships help fund aging equipment, need‑based student scholarships, and clinicians who work directly with our students. Our cluster is committed to raising $10,000 to support nearly 1,000 families across our feeder programs.

We also encourage parents, alumni, and friends of the Plano Band to help spread the word. If you know a local business that values community, education, or the arts, please share our sponsorship opportunities and invite them to join us in supporting these incredible students.
