Both Bowie and Nocona High School bands came home with the big wins last week as they earned sweepstakes. 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.

The new Husk Honor Guard of Bowie High School is now accepting applications for the upcoming year.
It is an all male spirit group that promotes and upholds the Jackrabbit traditions at school and in the community. Applications are due by March 20.
Parent interest meetings will be at 1 p.m. March 8 and 6 p.m. March 10 both at the high school. These meetings will provide all the details of the group’s expectations, commitments and how students can become part of this new organization. The group will travel with the cheer and drill teams.
The goal is to build school spirit, morale, support and service for the athletic and extracurricular programs. Some of the tasks would be to pump up the crowd during games, run BHS flags at football games, decorate campus on game day, lead student section at games, support cheer and drills teams with equipment and fundraising. Members will have the opportunity to create school traditions and show school spirit as the first official student spirit group.
