Congratulations to all who qualified to participate in the 2013 U.I.L. State
Marching Band Contest. All of the bands who performed at State deserve special
recognition. These bands have been practicing since last summer, working hard
on their marching program. All have made their schools and community proud!
The U.I.L. marching competition started in October with hundreds of bands
competing at the Region level. The top bands were then chosen to compete at
the Area level. Finally, the top 1A, 2A and 4A bands were chosen to compete
for the coveted state title in November. Congratulations to these students and
directors for their commitment to excellence.
