The district hosted the UIL Region 27 Marching Band Contest on Saturday, Oct. 17 at the Berry Center. The following CFISD bands received First Division ratings at the competition: Cy-Fair, Cypress Creek, Cypress Ridge, Cypress Ranch, Langham Creek, Jersey Village, Cypress Falls and Cypress Woods high schools.

Sam Houston State University hosted its annual Invitation Marching Festival on Oct. 24, during which bands from the Houston and Dallas areas competed for eight final spots. Three of the eight bands in the finals competition were from CFISD: Cy-Fair, Cypress Falls and Cypress Woods high schools.

The final band competitions wrapped up with outstanding performances last weekend, as Langham Creek High School competed at the Bands of America Super Regional Championship in San Antonio and Cypress Creek High School competed at the United States School Band Association (USSBA) Festival in Conroe.
