3 AISD Staff Members A Part of Houston Texans’ Bull Pen Pep Band

Disponible en:

Most Houston Texans fans who watch from home miss seeing the Bull Pen Pep Band. The band greets fans at every home game playing out in the parking lot with the tailgaters for about two hours before the game. The band also plays on the south side of the stadium before the game, the upper concourse for fans during half time and again after the game if the Texans win to celebrate with the fans as they leave.

The 50-piece pep band formed at the request of Robert McNair, founder, chairman and CEO of the Houston Texans, and his wife Janice. The Bull Pen Pep Band features a horn line, drum line, combo with guitar and Latin percussion elements. The band plays throughout the game as well as various tailgates prior to kickoff.

The Bull Pen Pep Band is comprised of mostly professional musicians and music educators. Band directors Emily Puetz of Hoffman Middle School who is in her fifth season with the band as well as Mark Talley of Eckert Intermediate School and Patrick Heaton of Aldine High School who are both in their 10th season represent Aldine ISD.
