The Robert Vela High School Indoor Programs were officially recognized by the City of Edinburg for an unforgettable 2025–2026 season filled with historic achievements, state championships, and undefeated performances.

From Varsity Winter Guard, JV Winter Guard, ReVELAtion Percussion, and RVHS Winds, our students showcased excellence, dedication, and passion at the highest level—making RVHS the only school in Texas to have all three indoor programs earn medalist honors at the Texas Color Guard Circuit (TCGC) State Championships in the same season.
