Congratulations to the Pirate Band for receiving Excellent ratings at the Region 10 UIL Concert & Sight Reading Competition held on Tuesday, March 6 at Silsbee High School.
High School students perform well at Solo & Ensemble Contest!
We had 3 solos and a saxophone trio receive 1st division superior ratings at the UIL Solo & Ensemble Contest held at Lumberton High School on Saturday, February 10. The saxophone trio as well as 2 soloists advanced to state and will perform once again at the Texas State Solo & Ensemble Competition at the end of May in Pflugerville.
In order to advance to state on a solo performance the student must play their music by memory and receive a superior rating. An ensemble can advance by performing and receiving a superior rating.
Middle School Students excel at solo & ensemble contest!
We had 3 students receive 1st division superior medals at the Solo & Ensemble contest held on Friday, February 2 at Lumberton High School. We are very proud of these students and the hard work they put in practicing after school for many weeks.
We also had 3 students receive excellent ratings on their performance as well.
Our 2 High School students that auditioned for the All State Band on Saturday, January 13 both placed 9th in their instrument section. They were the only 2A students in their sections to audition for the band competing against students from much larger 3A schools. This was their first experience auditioning for the All State Band. We are very proud of their accomplishment and look forward to their quest to make the All State Band next year.
Congratulations to our 2 High School band members for making the ATSSB All Region Band this year. They competed against area High School students in class 2A, 3A and 4A schools at Hardin Jefferson High School on December 2. They will perform in a concert with the Region Band on January 27 at Silsbee High School.
We are excited to report that these two students also made the ATSSB Area band and will audition for the Texas All State Band on January 13 in Tyler, TX.
Congratulations to our 2 band members making the ATSSB All Region Middle School Band.
These students competed against hundreds of students from area middle schools on Saturday, November 11 at Hamshire Fannett High School. Students making the All Region Band will practice and perform a concert on January 27 at Silsbee High School.
The Pirate Band marched in the Lamar University Homecoming Parade on Saturday, November 4. The band also performed with the Showcase of Southeast Texas (Lamar University Marching Band) and other area high school bands in a combined halftime performance of "We Know the Way" from Moana. This was an exciting event for our band members as they were part of a marching band larger than our high school. The students received information about Lamar University, scholarship information and a free t-shirt for participating.
