Join us on Saturday, September 13, 2025, for the third annual Buccaneer Band Experience! The new registration deadline is Friday, August 29, 2025.
The Blinn College District Annual Buccaneer Band Experience is hosted every fall on the Blinn College-Brenham Campus and at Brenham ISD’s Cub Stadium. It will be an exciting, full-day event including optional all-region band preparation clinics covering both Association of Texas Small School Bands (ATSSB) and Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) repertoire. Participants also will have the opportunity to perform with the Blinn Buccaneer Band during the evening’s home football game, both in the stands and during halftime. There is no charge for participation and each student will receive a commemorative T-shirt!
