An experience of a lifetime. No regrets. 28th place of 257 5A bands, we made it to the top 10%. Our students made history. An incredible end to a journey our students will never forget. #ChampionshipMindset#NCISD
At Texas State Solo and Ensemble contest, the Porter band came back with 7 medals - our record so far.
The PHS Brass Six earned a 1 at state, earning them the Bronze medal. Teddy Arocha earned a 1 at state on his solo, which earned him a gold medal.

Checking in the percussion room before locking up to see if Teddy was still in there practicing... But he wasn't. Because he graduated.
Tears, man. Tears.
Unforgettable moment. The seniors we witnessed grow for four years have now graduated. We went so many places together: Disney World, State Marching Championships, UT Austin, football games, the list goes on. Today is the day the class of 2018 left the greatest of shoes to fill.
Message to the band seniors from Mr. Best:
Thank you all for four wonderful years of commitment, dedication, and perseverance. I hope that your four years of band contain happy memories you will hold dear for the rest of your lives. We are so proud of you.

I'm pleased to announce that our UIL State trip was a major success. We stopped at not one but TWO Buc-ee's on the way there and back. We are so thankful for everyone who made this dream a reality!

The three most previous valedictorians for Porter HS were all saxophone players in the band.
