When the lights shine on the field and the first note echoes through the stands, you can feel the energy that only a marching band can bring. This week, KRGV and Payne Auto Group proudly celebrate the James Pace High School as the Band of the Week!
Behind every flawless halftime show is a group of students who dedicate countless hours to their craft. From perfecting each note to mastering their marching formations, the Viking Band represents the heart and determination that define our Rio Grande Valley spirit.
At Payne Auto Group, we understand the hard work and commitment it takes to be part of something bigger — just like our bands, we believe in teamwork, passion, and pride in what you do. Together with KRGV, we’re honored to recognize these talented musicians who continue to inspire their school and community.
But it’s not just the band that makes this achievement special — it’s the entire community that keeps their rhythm strong. From parents and teachers to local supporters who cheer them on each Friday night, your encouragement fuels their performance and keeps the Viking spirit alive.
Congratulations again to the James Pace High School — your dedication and drive continue to make our community proud!
👏 From all of us at Payne Auto Group and KRGV — thank you for keeping the music playing across the RGV!
