From Shannon Hensley, JISD BAND Director
Well, this year has certainly provided its share of challenges and obstacles to overcome. Today, the Jefferson Bulldog Band attended their UIL region 4 concert and sight reading contest.
While our stage rating fell a little short of superior, the progress made from this time last year HAS BEEN superior! I am so proud of my group and am so optimistic about the future here!
While I mention the stage rating, good news is accompanied! The group went into sight reading and played for a superior rating and was awarded it! Bringing home a plaque to the school helps these students know that what they are doing is worthwhile and meaningful!
I am so very proud of the work put in and the progress that is being made. I’m not finished!!! Thank you to the band staff (Daniel and Josh), and our support crew of women in our lives (Annie, Kailey, and Lisa) for putting up with the stress that accompanies the band and guard life!
