The Brazoswood Marching Band is the largest student organization in Brazosport ISD, and consists of all 250 plus members (woodwinds, brass, percussion, color guard) of the Brazoswood Band. The marching band performs at all Brazoswood football games, and various contest in the Houston area, as well as the Alamodome in San Antonio. The Buc Band makes regular appearances around the community, throughout the year.

Concert Bands

Every instrumentalist in the Brazoswood Band must participate in one of the four ability-based concert bands. Auditions for placement are held each semester. The four concert bands perform multiple concerts each year, as well as competing in UIL and UIL-equivalent festivals in the spring.

Jazz Bands

Brazoswood’s two jazz bands meet daily, during 7th and 8th periods. Auditions are held in the spring. All members of the jazz bands participate in All-Region Jazz auditions, and perform regularly at concerts, competitions, and community events.

For 17 consecutive years, Brazoswood has placed the most students in their respective All-Region Jazz bands, with Brazoswood students earning a 23 out of 40 available Region Jazz Band spots in 2017. Through participation in Brazosport College’s annual Jazztravaganza, and Brazoswood’s annual Jazz-o-Rama concerts, the Brazoswood Jazz Bands also have the opportunity to participate twice annually in clinics and concerts with exceptional jazz musicians from all over the U.S. Past guest performers have included: Wayne Bergeron, Mic Gillette, Grace Kelly, Stockton Helbing, Jake Herzog, Ingrid Jensen, Delfeayo Marsalis, Mike Stern, and Steve Weist.
