Austin High School Maroon Band News
October 28, 2018 - November 3, 2018
AREA Marching RESULTS
The students had a terrific performance at Area but finished just short of making finals. There were many positive comments from the judges and everyone should be PROUD of what all you accomplished with the show this season.
We are very fortunate to have so many parents willing to give their time and energy to help the program succeed. A huge thanks go to all the volunteers!!
Final Game of the Year
This weeks game is against Akins High School at Toney Burger Center on Friday night. It is the last football game of the season. We want to thank ALL the volunteers that made this year happen. The students and directors could not have done it without you!
COME EARLY and SHOW YOUR MAROON PRIDE!!
