Guest bulldogbark Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 JHS band receives 1st division Jasper High School band recently competed in UIL concert and sightreading competition held at Jasper High School. JHS received 1st division ratings on both the concert and sightreading portion of the contest. Previously, the band had received 1st divisions ratings for marching band. With the band receiving 1st division ratings in marching, concert and sightreading, the UIL a w a rded the band the "Sweepstakes" award. This is the 4th consecutive year the JHS band has received Sweepstakes, continuing the recent successes of the band program. Last summer the band was selected as the State winner in the class 3A Outstanding Performance Series" competition which is p o n s o red by the Association of Texas Small School Bands.

Guest bulldogbark Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I believe that when we go to compition there should be broken down into two groups military and core....the year before last in compition most of the bands that went on to finals were military marching bands....I think we were the only ones to go as a core band.....two different styles and two different gradings....its just very difficult I feel to grade the two together...thoughts :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Techsan Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I remember when I was in school in the late 70's that Vidor did a lights out half time show with the band. Do they still do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFDM COOP Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Still do! Welcome back Techsan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Techsan Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Thanks Coop. I have been swamped, its getting crunch time for the governors election.......can I put you down for an official endorsement for my boss; Kinky? Anyway, I still remember the half time show at Vidor with the lights out. It was simply amazing, to this day I dont think I have seen a more awe inspiring half time show. Is that their regular routine or a special homecoming routine? I remember thinking to myself that I had no clue why there werent 20 band kids laid out in the middle of the field with broken noses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
