Dragon Band Success

This past Saturday Dragon Band members received 120 1st division solo medals and 116 ensemble medals.  One Hundred and Thirty Six Dragon Band members qualified for the Texas State Solo and Ensemble Contest by receiving the highest ratings at the UIL Solo and Ensemble Contest at RL Turner High School in Carrollton.  Twenty seven ensembles advanced to state as well as seventy two solos which had to be on the very difficult non memorized list or had to be performed by memory and received a 1st Division.  These students will be traveling to Austin on May 27th and 28th for the state contest.


Way to go DRAGONS!!!

Dragon Tribune Posted

In this issue we have a variety of student work for you to enjoy on a wide range of subjects. Our students have focused on: post holiday blues, local homes with holiday spirit, a Harry Potter extravaganza, college roomates, Charm School thoughts, rock climbing attempts in a short period of time, local gyms that fit your needs, and curing country phobia.

Cozy up with your laptop on a cold dreary day (we have those in abundance this month and next) and read work from the imaginations of students you have helped to grow and learn.
