Capital City Marching Festival
October is typically the beginning of competition season for high school marching bands around the state. Most bands compete at marching contests/festivals in preparation for the primary UIL Region Marching Contest. These competitions provide the entire band the opportunity to prepare, perform, and receive constructive criticism on the band’s show/performance. From there, bands may earn the opportunity to advance to Area Marching contest in late October and State Marching contest in early November.
On Saturday, October 3rd,
the CC Winn Maverick Band traveled to Austin, TX to compete in the Capital City
Marching Contest, the first competition of our season. The
Maverick Band earned 1st Place for their performance. The band was extremely proud of the
accomplishment of coming out above groups such as Del Valle High School from
Austin and Brennan High School from San Antonio, both 6A high schools. The Maverick Band Colorguard also earned the
caption award of Best Cologuard.
