Early High School will be hosting the UIL Region 7 West Zone Marching Contest this Saturday, Oct 18th.
This is the second year this contest will be hosted in Early. Twenty-four Class A, AA, AAA and AAAA bands from all across central Texas will be descending upon Longhorn Stadium to present the marching shows they have been hard at work on since early August.
The class 4A bands, Brownwood and Llano, will also be seeking an opportunity for advancement to the UIL Area Marching Contest on October 25th at Gupton Stadium in Leander. Bands must receive a Division 1 rating in order to qualify for the next level.
The contest will begin at 10:15 a.m. and run until 6:30 p.m.
The Judging Panel for this year includes Pat Autry of Hillsboro, TX, Jim Bode of San Angelo, TX, and Mike Lunney of Wylie, TX.
Each of the four Brown County schools with band programs will be performing: May at 10:15, Early at 3:45, Bangs at 4:00, and Brownwood at 6:15. The public is encouraged and invited to attend. Admission is $3 for adults and $2 for students.
