Band flyer for recital and teen rock show at Hanovers in Pflugerville on May 8, 2025

Recital & Band Showcase @ Hanovers 3/8/25

Bring the whole family for a high-energy rock and punk concert from the 90s to today, sponsored by Sense & Color School of Music and Hanovers Draught Haus. No cover. All ages!

ABOUT OUR BANDS
– 1:30-2:45pm Insert Band Name Here (ages 13-18)
– 4:30-5:15pm Rule No. 4 (ages 9-16)

Insert Band Name Here features some of Leander’s top musicians ages 13-18, together for over 2.5 years now, playing original music and covers by Sunny Day Real Estate, the Black Keys, Bush, Counting Crows, Flyleaf, and more.

Rule No. 4 is our newest rock group, ages 9-16, and they put on a fabulous show, covering songs by the White Stripes, the Killers, Hole, Veruca Salt, and more.

ABOUT THE SENSE & COLOR BAND PROGRAM
Our band program is small, with just two bands, but our bands rehearse and play together as a group every week until they graduate or move away – which is why they sound SO good! Each band generally adds 2-4 new songs between each recital, but the old songs stay in rotation, building a full set list for bigger shows over time.

ABOUT THIS SHOW
These March 8th shows are part of our spring recital, so we’ll be featuring solo performances by other students between the bands.

BTW – earplugs are probably a good idea, especially for younger kiddos! We’ll try to keep volume reasonable, but this is a full-on rock concert. 🙂
