UIL Region 17 Marching Contest
Saturday, October 20
The competitive marching season is quickly coming to a close with the UIL Region 17 Marching Contest on Saturday, October 20th. The contest is similar to concert UIL in that there will be 3 Judges that give a rating of between 1 and 5 (1 being superior). What is different however is that bands that earn an overall rating of 1 (2 out of 3 judges) will then advance to the UIL Area Marching Contest on Saturday, October 27th.
The rain make-up day is Tuesday, October 23. See the calendar or the Facebook event for details.

- Contest Day Checklist – Please make sure that you have everything that you need.
Parents and Friends:
Please come and support the band and encourage any other friends/family to come to the contest as it is always more enjoyable for the students to perform at a contest with a large cheering section made up of family and friends. Family and friends can show their support by cheering louder than any other band’s supporters. We should hear an especially loud cheer both when they announce our band at the beginning of our performance and at the conclusion of our performance. Applause is also needed after solos, section features, and big musical or visual moments. This is not like concert season. A lot of applause is highly encouraged. UIL rules prohibit balloons and air horns. Please leave them at home or in the car.
No admission fee is charged.
