Tomball ISD’s 45th Annual Patriotic Show to Honor Veterans and Unite Community on October 17
For 44 years and counting, Tomball ISD has shown what it truly means to honor service and celebrate tradition. On Friday, October 17, 2025, the district will proudly host its 45th Annual Patriotic Show, a one-of-a-kind community event that blends the energy of high school football with a powerful tribute to local veterans.
This year’s showdown features a heated but heartfelt rivalry between Tomball Memorial High School (Home) and Tomball High School (Visitor) at Tomball ISD Stadium, located at 20235 Cypress Rosehill Rd., Tomball, TX 77377. Kickoff is at 7:30 PM, and the night promises much more than a game.
A Friday Night Lights Tradition with Heart
The Patriotic Show is one of the most anticipated Tomball ISD events of the year—not just for its football action, but for the way it brings the entire community together. Each year, the evening showcases the talents of students across multiple programs, including football teams, marching bands, dance and cheer squads, choirs, and NJROTC and MCJROTC units.
From a halftime skydiver performance to a spectacular fireworks show, the event creates an unforgettable, family-friendly experience that’s deeply rooted in Tomball pride and service appreciation.

Honoring Those Who Served
At the heart of the Patriotic Show is a heartfelt Veterans’ Dinner, hosted by the Tomball High School NJROTC Booster Club. Each year, the event provides a complimentary dinner and special door prizes for local veterans and their guests.
Backed by the THS NJROTC Unit, TMHS MCJROTC Unit, and generous community sponsors, the dinner is a gesture of appreciation for the service and sacrifice of Tomball-area veterans. Businesses large and small contribute to ensure these men and women feel celebrated, seen, and supported.
Tickets for the Veterans' Dinner are not for sale—the event is completely free for veterans and one guest.
Community members and businesses interested in sponsoring the dinner or supporting NJROTC scholarships and events can contribute here.
How donations are used:
- 85% supports the Annual Patriotic Veterans Dinner
- 15% supports cadet scholarships and events, such as drill meets, the Military Ball, and end-of-year awards
