Earn top ratings, awards
Man, oh man, did that Wildcat Band thrilled judges this past weekend, winning top awards and scoring the highest rating of one in their two contests at Mesquite Memorial Stadium and Sunnyvale High School.
At Mesquite, the band earned straight one ratings and was tabbed for the Best Music Award in 5A. In Sunnyvale, after a two-hour lightning delay, the band went on to nab the Best Winds, Best Guard and Best in Class 5A awards. They place third overall.
Next weekend, the Wildcat Marching Band travels to Royse City High School. The preliminary performance is slated for 3:15 p.m.
Three days after that, the Wildcats participate in the UIL Region Contest at Pine Tree High School in Longview with a performance time set for 3:30 p.m.
