This past Saturday, January 18th we had some of our band students compete against other musicians in our region. Some of our students competed against 60+ students from schools like, Somerset, Pearsall, Poteet, Jourdanton, Carrizo Springs, and more. Each student had to perform on their instrument independently for a panel of 3 judges.
