Packed and ready to go, the students loaded onto charter busses courtesy of the administration and band boosters and were roaring and ready to rock the roof off of the Alamodome at the UIL State Marching Band Championship. The competition, held on Monday, Dec. 14, will be a historic event for the band as no one is aware of the band ever going to state.

A sensational send off to an extraordinary event that the students and their band director, Ron Williams, will surely never forget.
