Show Video Reminder
Don't post marching show videos of the band we love the most!
Hey parents, just a friendly reminder - do not post ANY video of the halftime show on ANY social media platform. It violates copyright and could give our competitors a peek of what we’re building towards. If you’ve got questions, please reach out to your section parent.
If you find a video on a social media platform, send the link to president@hebronband.org so we can get it handled.
LISD bond & VATRE Information
The Hebron Band Booster Club would like to let our parents know that the LISD Board of Trustees has voted to call for a $1.23B bond election and a voter-approved tax rate ratification election (VATRE). Both proposals will be up for voter approval on November 7th. Registered voters residing within Lewisville ISD boundaries will be asked to consider a total of seven propositions that would generate additional funding to support educational programs and conduct maintenance, repairs and renovations across the district. If voters approve all six bond propositions (totaling $1.23B) and the VATRE, the total tax rate will be 10.6 cents lower than last year’s tax rate, a double-digit decrease in the total rate.
Learn more about the LISD bond package & VATRE at www.lisdbond.com

Volunteer Central
Here are our volunteer opportunities for the week of August 27th (and a few to plan ahead for).
- This Tuesday is our first middle school game (Killian vs Lamar) at Hebron’s stadium, and we need help with band concessions that night. By helping with concessions for the middle school games you will receive one $20 credit per game toward your student’s fundraising goal of $450!
- This Friday is our first away football game at Wylie HS. We need chaperones, pit crew and water crew help!
- And don’t forget, you must be background checked to work with the kids! It’ll take you 5 minutes, so please click the button below for step-by-step instructions for that simple process! Don’t delay, it can take a few days to get your approval back from the district!
- If you’ve already submitted your background check application, please don’t forget to go back into Voly, once you are approved, and join the Hebron Band Event. If you click the button below, and go to step 3, there’s a link that will take you straight to the event.
- If you have any questions reach out to Nikki Wilson at volunteers@hebronband.org
