The Deweyville Pirate Band competed in the Region 10 UIL Concert & Sight Reading Contest on Wednesday, March 6 at Silsbee High School.  The band received an excellent rating on their stage performance with one judge ranking away from the top award.  The band was awarded a superior rating plaque for the sight reading performance.  With the sight reading contest portion, the band has only 7 minutes to study the music and then perform for 3 judges.  We are very proud of our band and their continued success year after year.

The Pirate Band received excellent ratings at the UIL Region Marching contest on Saturday, October 20 at Port Neches Groves High School.  The ratings from the three judges were high enough to advance the band to the next level of competition.  Deweyville will compete against other 14 other 2A schools from Northeast and Southeast Texas. The Area Marching Contest will be held on Saturday, October 27 at Pine Tree ISD stadium in Longview.  Deweyville will perform at 1:15pm for a chance to earn a spot in the UIL State Marching Band Contest in November.    

The 35-member band has been battling the weather all year long and we are extremely happy for the juniors and seniors to have this 3rd and final opportunity to advance to Area.  For the 8th, 9th and 10th grade members this will be their second advancement and they will not have another chance until 2020.  Experiencing this elite band competition for the very first time will be the 12 seventh graders in the band.  

GOOD LUCK BAND!
