Hello Cougar Band!
I hope you were able to see the band perform at UIL on Saturday, the kids have worked so hard, and their performance was awesome to see! We received a first division rating from all three judges, which advances us to the Area competition this weekend. We have been assigned an early performance time for Area, which is held in Pflugerville. The schedule has not been released, but we are the 3rd band of the day. I have asked for permission to leave the Seguin game early so the kids can get home earlier and get some rest before a long day the next day. As of right now the details have not been finalized, but I will have a final schedule for you on Monday. That is why the Friday schedule stops at kickoff.
Area is a Prelims/Finals format. If we place in the top 10 at Prelims, then we will perform again in finals.
The area band contest is held at The Pfield in Plugervile. The address is 1440 W Pecan St, Pflugerville, TX 78660
This week’s rehearsals will have some clinicians who will help us be as prepared as possible for Area. Please prioritize our rehearsals as we are so close to the end of our competitive season!
