Rowe Band on Display

Welcome!! You've reached The new and improved Nikki Rowe Warrior Band site of McAllen, TX. Throughout this page you will find the latest news on the Warrior Band and its sponsors. This page is also proud to highlight our band's accomplishments, achievements, special players, band parents, and last but not least, the directors.

You may be wondering why the Band page was moved. Well, I'm taking a programming class this year and learned alot of tricks to make the pages better. And, the web address is alot shorter! So make sure you check out the Brass Page, the Woodwind Page, and the Drum Page to see how we improved the look of your favorite section pages!

EXTRA EXTRA!!! Pigskin Results are in! The Nikki Rowe Band is proud to announce that they are the only McAllen Band to recieve ones for their Pigskin performance. The 2000-2001 Warrior Band is the first band in the history of Rowe High School to recieve straight ones for their performance. The Rowe band will be continuing its excellence as they compete at the Area contest in Alice on October 28. Good Luck!

The Rowe Concert Band will be competing at PSJA Memorial High School for concert and sightreading music for UIL on Tuesday April 10. They will be performing The New Frontier March by O'Reilly, Procession of the Sardar by Ivanov/Custer and Variations on a English Folk Song by Smith. Later this month, the Rowe Wind Ensemble will be performing The Slavonic Dances by Dvorak, Prelude, Siciliano, and Rondo by Arnold, and The Klaxon by Fillmore for contest on April 25. We wish all the Rowe Bands the best of luck at contest.
