Tiger Band preps for Area Contest
The Wills Point Tiger Band is no stranger to shouldering a heavy workload, routinely filling the fall and spring semesters with practices and performances, as well as contest and competition appearances.
Even by the Tiger Band’s lofty standards, October has already been a hectic month with three competitions already in the books, and a fourth, in Denton Oct. 29.
The band’s month long odyssey began Oct. 1 in Denton, with the group placing 10th overall in the prelims and 10th overall in the finals of the Golden Triangle Marching Contest.
After rooting on the football team in their district opening win over Dallas Roosevelt Oct. 7, the Tiger Band took part in the Mineola March Contest Oct. 10 and finished third overall out of 23 schools.
Tiger Band director John Young noted, “We were behind Melissa and Robert E. Lee High School. Our guard placed first out of all the guards for the entire day. I’m so proud of their work and contribution to our program visually. They are very hard workers. The contest was an excellent opportunity to have very good judges make constructive comments for us to continue to learn and improve.”
