All four of Leander ISD’s 5A high school bands — Cedar Park, Glenn, Leander and Rouse — competed at the UIL State Marching Band Championships from Nov. 4-5 at the Alamodome.
For the sixth-consecutive time, the Cedar Park High School Marching Band earned the State Champion title. The Rouse High School Band earned the Silver Medalist title and the Leander High School Band earned the Bronze Medalist title — making for a #1LISD sweep at the podium. The Glenn High School Band, in their second-ever state competition, rose through the ranks to earn 16th place overall out of 38 total competing bands.
“Our 5A bands represented their schools and communities at the highest level this week,” said Mike Howard, Leander ISD director of fine arts. “The hard work and dedication by the students, staff and hundreds of parent volunteers is a testament to a strong commitment of service and excellence within #1LISD.”
Leander ISD’s bands wowed hundreds of spectators — and the judges — with their performances. Cedar Park High School Band’s “The Cutting Edge”, Glenn High School Band’s “City Cycle”, Leander High School Band’s “Shades” and Rouse High School’s “Opus 78” were a clear display of the musical talent, excellence and teamwork of our students.
Next up, we cheer on the Vandegrift and Vista Ridge High School Bands as they compete at the 6A UIL State Marching Band Championships from Nov. 11-12 in San Antonio.
