Help us keep the Texans one-of-a-kind!

For over 20+ years, The Houston Texans Deep Steel Thunder pep band has entertained fans in the tailgate parking lots and concourse in the stadium. It has been our pride and joy to play fun and entertaining music for our fans and community on game day. As one of the last remaining pep bands in the NFL, we took it as our responsibility to get the fans at tailgates hyped and excited to cheer on our team.

Unfortunately, as of May 8th, 2024 leadership has decided to eliminate the brass line and keep only the drum line. The decision was made, "in the spirt of change", "change for the sake of change". The sudden news is upsetting and disappointing to say the least. Members of our drum line have started to voice their concern in an attempt to protest and reverse the decision.

So much excitement is building in Houston for our team, and we were all looking forward to backing our team with a new look and culture that has the league buzzing for the organization. We just didn't imagine that we would miss out on the opportunity to contribute on game day in a season that seems so pivotal to Houston.

Please sign in protest for reconsideration of this decision. Change in the spirt of change diminishes many years of impact Deep Steel Thunder has made to the organization and the community. Many of our members are music educators the have helped influences hundreds if not thousands of students to pursue music and the marching arts. It is a shame to remove an essential part of the group for the sake of change.

Thank you,
