About the
Summit Jaguar Band
The Summit Jaguar Band has a proud tradition of excellence, challenging students to grow as musicians, leaders, and teammates while creating lifelong memories and friendships. Through music, we teach the value of respect, responsibility, perseverance, trust, leadership, and hard work—because our goal is about more than great performances. We strive to make better humans through music.
With more than 100 student musicians, the Summit Band program offers a variety of performance opportunities, including marching band, concert bands, jazz band, percussion, color guard, and pit orchestra. Students rehearse daily in a supportive, challenging environment that encourages musical excellence, personal growth, and teamwork.
Our students begin their musical journey at Cross Timbers Intermediate School before continuing through Howard and Wester Middle Schools, where a vertically aligned curriculum prepares them for the high standards and opportunities of the Summit Band program.The Summit Jaguar Band has earned numerous honors, including consistent UIL Sweepstakes Awards, strong representation in the TMEA All-Region, Area, and All-State process, recognition as a 2023 TMEA Honor Band Finalist, and an invitation to perform at the 2025 Music for All National Festival in Indianapolis.Whether performing on the football field, concert stage, or in competition, Summit Band students represent their school and community with pride, excellence, and Jaguar spirit.
