Congratulations on a 1st contest in the books!
Our Bronco band represented really well yesterday at Bands of America DFW. (Video down below).
It was a long day and had its share of surprises but we are thankful to all the students and parent volunteers that made yesterday successful.
We are proud of where the kids are at and that they felt they had a strong performance coming of the field.
We will talk more in depth about scores and next steps in class on Monday.
