Band advances to area round of competition
Cleburne High School’s Golden Pride Band will be among those competing at the UIL Area B Marching Contest Oct. 24 after receiving straight First Division scores from judges at Saturday’s Region 7 competition.
The Area B contest will take place at Pennington Field in Bedford. UIL officials are in the process of constructing the performance schedule.
The Golden Pride’s 2009 UIL Marching program, “Rhythms of a City,” was judged second in its performing class at the USSBA Marching Contest held earlier this month. The first honors of the season were brought home by the Front Ensemble and Battery, which placed third at the HEB Drumline contest held September 19.
Sixteen 4A bands competed at the UIL Region 7 marching contest held Oct. 17 at Burleson High School’s Elk Stadium, in the first qualifying round for 4A bands. This is a state year for marching units in classes A, 2A and 4A. The top 4A bands selected at this Saturday’s competition will advance to the State Marching Contest Nov. 2-3 in San Antonio.
