Congratulations to all of the students in Honors Band, Symphonic Band, and Concert Band 1 for an impressive showing at this year's UIL Contest.

This past Thursday, all three bands performed for adjudication. The Concert Band started the day. This is the first time Concert Band has competed in UIL since 2015! While they did not earn a sweepstakes, they received Division II (Excellent) ratings for both the stage and sight-reading portions. Furthermore, they received the highest ratings out of all the bands in their classification.

Symphonic Band also performed and received straight Division I, Superior ratings from all judges earning the coveted Sweepstakes award. This is the 2nd consecutive Sweepstakes for Symphonic Band.

Honors Band concluded the day and also received straight Division I, Superior ratings from all judges earning the coveted Sweepstakes award. This is the 20th Sweepstakes award for the band.

We are so incredibly proud of all of the students and appreciate all of the support from our band families! We also want to give a massive thank-you to Brad Pyatt for driving the trailer all day and Julie Stamper for arranging a special surprise for Honors Band upon their return on Thursday. We also want to personally thank all of the amazing parents who helped Julie.
