Congratulations to Honor Band for their Sweepstakes performance today at our UIL assessment! They received a Superior Division 1 rating from all three judges. This continues our 5 year streak of a Division One rating from each judge! We are completely blown away for all the parent support we had today! It did not go unnoticed by us, students, and judges. Students 100% perform better when someone they love is in the audience. As always, share those photos in the comments! 🖤🐴🏆💙
