Dragon Band Success!!

On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, April 20th-22nd, our four Dragon Band concert ensembles performed at the UIL Region 26 Concert and Sightreading Evaluation held at Georgetown High School.

Each band performed for three judges for the concert portion and three judges for the sightreading portion, a total of six judges evaluated our students.  Ratings are given from I,II,III,IV and V and every band strives for straight ones, or first division ratings, from the set of judges.

All four of our Dragon Band ensembles achieved straight ones!  Our Concert Band and Symphonic Band did this on Wednesday, our Wind Symphony on Thursday and our Wind Ensemble wrapped it up on Friday.  We are all tremendously proud of these students for this accomplishment!

As a side note, only 2 schools in our region sent 4 ensembles to UIL this year, most sent only 3.  Of the 2 that sent 4 groups (us and Westwood), we were the only school to have all 4 earn straight first division ratings for all bands!!!!

Go Rock! Go Band! Go Rock Band!
