Creekview High School opened in the fall of 1998. The campus is located in Carrollton just north of Frankford on Old Denton Road in Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD. The Creekview High School band program includes a marching band of 200+ students with a percussion ensemble, color/winter guard program, four full concert bands, and a thriving jazz ensemble program.
In the program's short history, the Mustang Band has already established a reputation of excellence in the fields of marching, concert, and auxiliary programs. The Creekview Band program has amassed nine consecutive years of Sweepstakes awards at University Interscholastic League (UIL) competitions, receiving first division ratings in marching, concert, and sightreading contests.
Marching: The Mustang Marching Band is a consistent finalist at the annual Carrollton Tournament of Champions, where they have won their classification three times. In fall of 2002 they placed 1st in Prelims and Finals and were awarded the Outstanding Marching and General Effect Captions. The band has also advanced to UIL 5A State Marching contest twice. The Mustang Marching Band has also been a finalist at the Music for All Houston and Arlington regionals as well as the San Antonio Super Regional.
Concert: Creekview concert ensembles have also found a great deal of success at other music festivals throughout the country. The Creekview Wind Symphony has been named grand champion at several nationally acclaimed festivals including Musicfest Orlando (2003), South Coast Music Festival Corpus Christi (2004), Performing Arts Consultants St. Louis (2005), and Choice Music Events South Padre (2009).
Auxiliary: Creekview auxiliary ensembles continue to represent Mustang PRIDE in all of their performance endeavors. The Jazz Ensemble has received honors in competitions at the Smokey Mountain Music Festival (2002-Best in Class), Musicfest Orlando (2008-third place), and at the Choice Music Events South Padre competition (2009-Best in Class). The Percussion Ensemble gives an annual Spring Percussion Concert with members of the Blalack and Long Middle School percussion studios. The Winter Guard program at Creekview is truly second to none. During the spring semester, this group of talented young ladies competes in the North Texas Colorguard Association (NTCA) circuit and has found great success. The winter guard has won their division on three different occasions in 2004 (A), 2005 (AAA), and 2009 (AA).
