Yesterday, March 5th, the HS Band performed at the UIL Region 11 Concert & Sight-Reading Evaluation and received unanimous 1stdivisions from the judging panels in both Concert and Sight-Reading. In combination with the 1st Division the band received in UIL Marching back in October, the band has now earned the coveted “Sweepstakes” Award for only the 5thtime in LHS history! (1972, 2009, 2012, 2017 and 2019)
I would like to thank the administration, both district and campus for their support in helping us achieve this honor, as well as the assistance and understanding of the HS staff as we have had students out of class for the Pirateland Contest in February, as well as many other ways they have shown their support for these students. Thank you to everyone for the kind words of encouragement you have shared with me and the band students.
A big “thank you” goes to Mrs. Robles and Mr. Keown for the help they have provided in getting the band ready for yesterday’s contest. Without their expertise and hard work, things would have not gone nearly so well yesterday.
