About the Band
The Shadow Creek High School Band began with the opening of the school in August of 2016. Since that time, the Shadow Creek Band has developed a proud culture of hard work, high expectations, and success. The band program is a community of teachers, parents, and outstanding young musicians, who dedicate their time and efforts to each other and their growth as students and musicians.

Remind Codes
Remind text messages are the most important way the we communicate with students and parents. Mr. Mooney sends out weekly updates throughout the school year, and boosters use Remind to communicate important volunteer information.
Parents and students should make sure that they're signed up for their correct Remind groups to ensure that they get the most up-to-date information!
To join your group, text the message below to the number 81010.
