“Our students have worked hard since January 1 on their three selections and have made us very proud. We were the only 4A to take three bands to contest in our region,” Band Director Greg Dick said.
Wind Ensemble will be performing their contest music three more times in May and the community is invited to attend. They are also putting together a CD to submit for TMEA AAAA Honor Band that was won in 2006, according to Dick.
