The MOB is supported by a passionate and involved network of alumni and Houston community members. We are proud to count among our ranks not only alumni of H.I.S.D schools, but several of our very own H.I.S.D educators. It is our privilege to speak out for those who cannot.

Exciting news: Starting in the 2022 football season, The MOB will transition into a full fledged marching band! No more silly scattering. In order to help with our transition, we will no longer play Louie, Louie. It just has too much cowbell for a serious marching band.
