Bands who earn superior ratings for marching in the fall, can earn the top award if they have superior ratings during concert and sight reading in the spring. The Bowie band is shown above. Director is German Torres.
Nocona High School Band shows off their sweepstakes trophy after last week’s concert and sight reading contest. The band is directed by Randy Brooks.
