We have been blessed with two fantastic band teachers. I love both the middle school and high school teachers. They are respectful of the students and encourage them to do their best.
May is band UIL season. The University Interscholastic League is an organization that creates rules for and administers almost all athletic, musical, and academic contests for public schools in the state of Texas. The music program of the UIL is designed to support and enrich the teaching of music as an integral component of the public school curriculum. More than one half million middle and high school students participate in UIL each year.
There are opportunities for solo, small ensemble and whole-band competitions in the spring. Earlier this spring Eli competed in the solo UIL and earned a I rating, which is superior.
They also went as a group.
Here is the view from the back row looking out.
This is Zeke's best percussion friend that I love, Maddy.
After performing concert pieces, they have maybe 7 minutes to sight read a new piece of music and then perform it.
They did very well. The band earned a superior rating for their concert pieces! This is the first year that the symphonic band, or the non-varsity band, attended UIL. Ms. Brandt was very pleased that they earned a I rating.
Zeke's band attended UIL as well.
They earned a superior rating in sight reading!
Zekers with the seniors.
