The joining of these two ensembles allows them to offer unparalleled versatility of programming, ranging from orchestral masterworks and operatic arias to Sousa marches, jazz classics, and Broadway musicals. The band and chorus also perform independently, and have recently shared the stage with such ensembles as the Boston Pops, the Cincinnati Pops, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and the National Symphony Orchestra.

Of all Willis ISD students, 60% are on free/reduced-cost meals, with many students struggling to meet basic needs. They have 4 out of 5 elementary schools that are Title I.

Conroe ISD is 37% economically disadvantaged and 23 of their 43 elementary and intermediate schools are Title I.

Despite some federal funding, children and teachers in both of these districts are still in need of our help.

In response to their call, the Conroe/Lake Conroe Chamber of Commerce is holding its first school supply drive for the Conroe/Caney Creek feeder zones in Conroe ISD and Willis ISD. This drive will be spearheaded by the Conroe/Lake Conroe Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Guaranty Bank & Trust.

This drive will run from July 15, starting with the kick-off at Guaranty Bank & Trust – Conroe, and culminate with the stuffed buses meeting at the Conroe/Lake Conroe Chamber on the evening of August 12!

The Woodlands Township Neighborhood Watch will conduct a blood drive to honor first responders.  Cupcakes will be served. The Gulf Coast Blood Center has seen an increase in need for blood components over the past several months, making regular donations even more important. The blood center is the primary supplier of blood components to more than 170 hospitals and health care facilities in a 26-county Texas Gulf Coast region. To meet the needs of the community, the blood center must collect about 1,000 donations every day. Each blood donation is separated into components: red blood cells, platelets and plasma, which can save up to three lives.
