A lot of people care about [this show],” Morneault said. “I have a lot of friends on the cast and on the crew, but I’ve also grown and gained friendships through the show, even as director where I may be a little more stricter than normal. And I am very grateful for everyone I’ve gotten to work with.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DSC_0657-1200x800.jpg)

Kato’s painting is a political piece inspired by a photo of elementary schoolers in the street protesting against ICE. “I think it's also symbolic because they're surrounded by snow, which can represent ICE, and they are still marching,” Kato said. “[The kids] are not stopping until equality or justice is served, which I think is really important to represent and show.” Photo by John Pinion](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-26-114740.png)

Parade honors Band and Football’s State achievements

February 11, 2016
On Saturday Jan. 23 a parade was held in honor of both football and band winning State Championships this year, an unprecedented achievement in the state of Texas. The event was from 2-3:30 p.m. and after the short procession from the middle school to the high school, there were booths, concessions and a live music performance by the Zach Willard Band on the front lawn of the school. Speeches were given to honor those who made this feat possible, and both the football team and the band were praised by the speakers and the crowd.
“It felt great [to have the parade in our honor],” said junior fullback and linebacker Tyler Lavine. “We have a great community here in Cedar Park and it’s nice to know we have their support. I liked getting to be with my friends out in the community.”
The band marched along and played familiar songs such as Metal Shop as the parade progressed. Band member sophomore Claire Sears enjoyed getting to march with the band again.
“I was looking forward to it for about a week before it actually happened,” Sears said. “It was sort of our last chance to all play together as one marching band before the seniors leave. It was really fun to hang out with all the band members I don’t get to see during concert season.”
Though the choir did not get the chance to sing at the state game, they were given the opportunity to sing the national anthem after the parade. Freshmen choir member Kara Bonorden enjoyed the recognition and support.
“It’s always fun to be able to show the community what you’re working on and show them sorta ‘this is what we do everyday,’” Bonorden said. “It’s really cool how the whole community comes together and even the little elementary school kids came out to enjoy the parade.”
The parade gave the opportunity to recognize football, band and the teachers that lead them to excellence.
“I’m really grateful we go to a school that chose to honor us along with football team because that kind of equal support doesn’t happen at a lot of other schools,” Sears said. “It felt great to be recognized for the hard work we put in everyday since band camp back in August.”
The band played at the parade on Jan. 23 to commemorate their state win earlier this year. Marching season favorites such as Metal Shop were played as the parade progressed. “It was a little weird to play stand tunes and march again after all the time off marching season, ” sophomore Claire Sears said. “But it was really fun to get to hang out with the band members I don’t get to see during concert season.”
