CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR ROARIN' LION BAND!!
Yesterday, the Vernon Roarin' Lion Band competed in the Region 7 UIL Concert & Sight Reading Contest in Wichita Falls. The band earned a Division 2 (Excellent) rating on the Concert stage, with their 3 prepared Concert selections ("Moscow, 1941" "Zig Zag" and "The Lone Eagle March").
The band then entered the Sight Reading room and after looking at an entire piece of music for only 7 minutes, they performed that piece of music ("Bozeman Trails") and earned a Division 1 (Superior) rating and earned a Class "B" plaque to signify their Division 1 rating in one of the two contest areas.
Congratulations to co-band directors Aaron Burr and Dianne Koch, and to all the members of the Roarin' Lion Band. You make us PROUD!!!
