BRENHAM CUB BAND TAKES HOME SWEEPSTAKES AWARD

  

The Brenham High School Cub Band took home the Sweepstakes Award at this week’s UIL competition.

On Tuesday, the Cub Band program sent three concert bands to the UIL Concert and Sight Reading evaluation. For the concert portion, each band prepared two concert pieces from the UIL Prescribed Music List plus a march of the director’s choice.  Two of the bands earned Superior ratings and one earned Excellent ratings in concert performance. In sight reading, the bands get a few minutes to review a piece the students have never seen before. After the brief explanation period by the director, the band performs the new piece on sight. All three bands earned Superior ratings in the sight reading portion of the evaluation. Because the marching band also earned a Superior rating at the marching band contest in October, the Cub Band program earned the UIL Sweepstakes Award.

The bands will have their end of year concert on Thursday, May 12th at 6:00 in the evening at the Festival Institute Concert Hall in Round Top.
