11/3/09 - State
Marching Contest/San Antonio, TX
Newman Smith had an AWESOME preliminary performance and made it
to the finals competition. The band placed 6th overall in State! Or, as
someone so aptly put it:
"There
were 240 bands in the competition. When you do the math, it means that we were
in the top 2% !" Awesome job, guys!

The Lion Marching band competed this past weekend
at the Carrollton Tournament of Champions at Standridge Stadium in a field of 21
bands including some of the best 5A groups in the Metroplex such as Hebron,
Wylie, Rowlett, Allen, and others. The band narrowly missed finals (by one
place) and won their respective class (we are checking, but we believe this is
the first time that has happened since the band started attending this
contest!) We are very proud of their accomplishment and appreciate all the
support from the staff who attended this weekend, and those who help us get
students to rehearsals, help with tutorials, and support our kids every
day-thanks!
