The 145 member El Dorado band will be playing at this year’s Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl in place of the Washington State band! 🥁🎺📯

WSU Jaws coming atcha!! Join us tomorrow for the Tony The Tiger Sun Bowl where the Venessa Betancourt Band, Flags, and Dance team will represent the Washington State Cougars Band! Kick Off 10:00 am #TeamSISD #SISDFineArts

When WSU Marching Band opted not to travel to the Sun Bowl, the band at ElDoradoHighSchool regrouped during winter break to save the day and make sure #WSU’s football team still had a fight song at the Tony The Tiger Sun Bowl. It sounds superb less than 18 hrs. before kickoff.

THIS is awesome. Can’t thank ElDoradoHighSchool band enough for stepping in for WSU Marching Band at Tony The Tiger Sun Bowl! You guys nailed it!👏 #GoCougs

The Washington State Cougars will be at the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl on Friday morning, but their band will not be. In their stead, the Cougars are calling on some local sound in the form of the El Dorado High School band. kvia.com/news/2021/12/3…

Washington State's band didn't make the trip to the Sun Bowl, so the band from El Paso's El Dorado High School (Venessa Betancourt) will step in to play the Cougars' fight song! Band Director Carl Ortega says it's a crash course the kids are ready for! STORY: kvia.com/sports/2021/12…

Thank you so much for all the support! Our scholars Venessa Betancourt are excited and honored for the opportunity to represent WSU Marching Band Washington State Cougars Washington State Football Go Cougs!! 🐾🏈

When WSU Marching Band pulled out of the Sun Bowl, the first call was to Carl Ortega at ElDoradoHighSchool. Ortega had done something like this before when his Horizon band stood in for #Stanford & "on a positive note, (El Dorado's) colors weren’t purple." spokesman.com/stories/2021/d…

A little rain?!! No problem! Venessa Betancourt making it happen! #GoCougs Tony The Tiger Sun Bowl #TeamSISD #SISDFineArts
