Kashmere High School was home of the Kashmere Stage Band, a nationally renowned band that released several jazz/funk albums in the 1960s and 1970s.
They are known for the vocal ensemble under the direction of Joan E. Hubert, a member of Houston Ebony Opera Guild. These students' talent took them to Africa in 1997. In 2003 they performed for Senator Rodney Ellis and were the featured choir in Martin Luther King Memorial Concert along with the Scott Joplin Orchestra of Texas Southern University.
Kashmere had Jay-Z as "principal for a day" in 2002.
