A little community note from our family…
Over the last few years, the Cactus Shadows High School band had become pretty small. But this year, thanks in large part to an awesome incoming freshman class, the pep band has grown to around 20 students, including our daughter on trumpet!
Mr. Cowan has been her band director since 4th grade and is now leading both the middle and high school programs. There’s some real momentum behind rebuilding the Cactus Shadows band program, and our family has gotten pretty invested, Alisha is serving as Band Booster President this year.
So we’re putting out a call to our Cave Creek community: Were you a Cactus Shadows band member? Do you still play an instrument? Come sit in with the pep band at a football game or upcoming event!
We’d love to reconnect with former Falcon musicians and local musicians who want to support these kids. And if you know a former CSHS band member, tag them or send this their way!
