The Burleson High School “Spirit of the Elks” Marching Band earned a 1st Division (Superior) rating during the Region 30 Marching Band Contest held Monday, October 22nd, at Joshua High School Stadium.

All three adjudicators awarded the band the top rating.

The band’s musical program this year is entitled, “A Night at the Opera.”  Four Italian operas are represented in the musical score including selections from Pagliacci, Turandot, William Tell, and The Barber of Seville.  Many thanks go out to our moms, dads, and other community friends of the band who worked tirelessly for months on props, costumes, food, supplies, and all the necessary components of this year’s production.  Congratulations, Band!

Erin Cobb, Kara DuPont, Synnah Narvaez, Emilee Trevino, Gage Fox, Jaden Gonzalez, Isaac Gregory, Noah Mongeon, Josh Swaim, and Abby Sones were selected for the 9-10 Honor Choir.
