Houston City Council Member Jerry Davis partnered with José Díaz, artistic director of the Diaz Music Institute and director of bands at MacArthur High School, to bring the “Back to School Jam” to the Northeast community on Saturday, August 24 at Tidwell Park. The event, which had an attendance of more than 4,000 people, provided students from District B with backpacks and school supplies as well as groceries for those in need.

MacArthur High’s Jammin’ Generals thrilled the audience with their energized performance of traditional stand tunes and contemporary music. Additionally, the school’s drum line performed with an amazing display of skill and talent.

Mayor Annise Parker served as the keynote speaker. State Representative Senfronia Thompson, Senator Rodney Ellis, and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee also attended the event.
