We may be on summer break, but there are still big things happening for our band! đź’™

Congratulations to the Keene Junior High Symphonic Band and Keene High School Wind Ensemble for advancing to the area round of the Outstanding Performance Series competition!


OPS is a competition hosted by ATSSB, in which directors submit their UIL recordings for adjudication. Recordings are blind-judged and ranked at region, then at area, and then finally at the state level.

To the class of 2026,

You were my first students at Keene ISD! I was shocked to see on the graduation program that I taught about a third of this class. You were my first beginners, I could write a novel here about the road that you paved as you grew up.

You are such a special group of seniors. You are exceptional leaders, world-class musicians, and the brightest students. It was a joy to teach you every day, and I say that to every one of you who walked into the band hall in the last 7 years.

To the 9 band seniors, thank you for laying the foundation for our band program. Thank you for everything you have given; for your literal blood, sweat, and tears. It is my sincerest hope that you will find ways to love music and keep creating throughout the rest of your lives. I will never forget you!

All my love,
Mrs. Emery

This special group of students performed for Keene ISD’s annual Asian American & Pacific Island Heritage Month celebration! They performed a song called “I Love the Islands Where I Was Born,” the former national anthem of the Marshall Islands. I love how our students take opportunities to celebrate their own cultures and the cultures of their peers! 💙🧡🇲🇭
