Who We Are
The LBJ Jaguar Band is rich in tradition and highly respected as one of the finest bands in Texas! We are a multi-faceted organization, boasting a superb marching band, three exciting concert bands, two incredible jazz bands, a dynamic colorguard/winterguard, and a precision-driven percussion group. The band is made up of students from both LBJ and LASA high schools.

This proud program has represented Texas in places as far away as New York City, Hawaii, London, Paris, and Beijing, and has won top festival awards in 6 different states. The LBJ Jaguar Band's excellence and experience even earned it an invitation to play at the 2010 Sugar Bowl!
