Hello Dragon Band Students, Parents and Families,
We are pleased to start a new semester and ready for lots of things coming this spring! Everyone stay warm over the next several days! Students should be taking instruments home today and regularly - each band class has plenty of music that needs to be practiced.
This message has several spots that may need your response - please read carefully.
Congratulations once again to our 8 all state students
Sydney Park, Flute
Vic Ducea, Clarinet (2 time all state)
Chaitanya Dandekar, Bass Clarinet (3 time all state)
Avery Calhoun, Bassoon
Mike Popke, Contra Bassoon (2 time all state)
Andrew Vu, Alto Sax (2 time all state)
Daphne Jones, Trombone
Hudson Pedrotti, Bass Trombone (2 time all state)
Making all state is the highest honor a student musician can earn in the state of Texas. Our state is widely acknowledged as THE BEST in the country for band programs which means that not only are these students the best in Texas, they’re the best in the country!!
