Our Proudest Accomplishments
Wind Symphony Performs at the 2026 Music for All National Festival
The Hudson Wind Symphony was one of only 12 middle school bands in the country who were invited to perform at the Music for All National Festival in Indianapolis. They worked incredibly hard for months to put on a fantastic concert and were rewarded with a standing ovation from the audience and many words of praise from those who watched the livestream performance from afar.
They performed beautifully, made lifelong memories, and represented the Hudson Band at the highest level. We are so proud of the hard work, commitment to excellence, and collaboration that went into making this performance one we will always cherish and remember.

First EVER GISD All-Star Band Members!
In April of 2023, 70 of our Beginner Band students competed against over 500 other GISD beginner band students to earn a chair in the first EVER GISD Beginner All-Star Band.

We are so proud of how hard they worked, how much strength they showed by showing up, and for the amazing amount of growth they gained as musicians throughout the process. We can't wait to hear their performance in a few weeks!
Congratulations to the 43 students who earned a chair in the band - the most from any school in GISD!

Hudson Bands Make GISD History!
All 3 of our Advanced Bands attended the UIL Concert & Sightreading Evaluation the week of April 1, 2019. All 3 bands worked very hard to prepare their music and practiced their sightreading skills all year long. They all had beautiful stage performances and did a wonderful job in the sightreading room. We are thrilled to say that for the first time in school history, ALL 3 HUDSON BANDS EARNED THE SWEEPSTAKES AWARD AT UIL! This is incredible and not an easy feat to accomplish. We were the only band at our entire contest who received this honor and one of only 3 bands in the entire region. We are so proud of these students and impressed with how much they have grown musically over the course of this year. Congratulations!!!
