UIL - All 1's

The Lion Marching Band has been busy, perfecting their competition marching show.  All the students hard work paid off with several accolades at various marching contests throughout the fall.  The Band earned a first division rating at the Carrollton Tournament of Champions on September 27th.  This is the first time since 2006 the band has received straight First Division ratings, and only the third time in the past six years.

GO LIONS!!
