Texas 35 Performing arts Division
Our Mission
At Texas 35 Media, our mission is to provide high-quality coverage of Fine Arts programs throughout the state. We focus on all areas: band, theater, choir, orchestra, and mariachi. For band coverage, we cover marching bands, jazz bands, concert bands, winter guard, and indoor percussion.
Our History
Since the start of our coverage, marching bands have been a key part of Texas 35. The first two bands we covered and worked with were Veterans Memorial HS and Judson HS. The gratitude from the students, directors, and parents from Veterans Memorial HS and Judson HS sparked the desire to expand our coverage to theater, choir, and orchestra. From two marching bands in 2022 to covering over 120 marching bands in 2024 we have found gratitude has been shown across all the programs we cover.
Our Team
Our team for our entertainment division is the smallest staffed division of Texas 35. Currently, the staff is made up of five people who work as a team to create coverage that you will not find anywhere else. The team is led by our CEO who is the main photographer. The face of our coverage is Kam Niece bringing you all the interviews. Our two production assistants are Thalia Alvarez and Lauren Adams. Luke Ahart is the student intern for photography as well as video productions.
