Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner was among 125 people who turned out Sunday for a banquet in honor of the Scarborough High School band.
The event marked the culmination of a year spent building the school’s fledgling band program, increasing from nine students at the start of the year to 40, all of whom received awards on Sunday.
Mayor Turner congratulated the students on their achievements, and encouraged them to continue to work hard in pursuit of their dreams. He even said he’d work with the principal to have the band perform at next year’s Super Bowl in Houston.
