All-Region Results

Congratulations to the following FIVE Bulldog Band members that earned a spot in the All-Region Band! Our region consists of Arlington ISD, Mansfield ISD, and Birdville ISD. This is the highest achievement an individual junior high musician can earn. The All-Region bands will have their clinic and concert on Saturday, December 6th at the Willie Pigg Auditorium in Mansfield. BRAVO!

I am so proud of all of our Boles Band members that completed the All-Region audition process. It takes guts to put yourself out there in an audition like this. We are ALL better musicians now, at the end of the process, than we were at the beginning of the process.

I will post full results from Saturday outside the band hall on Monday morning.

If you are picking your band student up at the game tonight, after halftime I will be wearing my blinking Mickey Mouse Wizard hat to help you find me. I know that I tend to blend in, haha!
