The Wind Ensemble was one of four bands who received Sweepstakes while being evaluated by a very tough panel. Head Band Director, Ruben Rodriguez, is extremely proud of his students and directors who have been working hard.
They are in the process of submitting for Honor Band which, requires four recordings of our program. This evaluation will come in the month of May and our goal is to advance to Area to become a finalist for Honor Band.
