The Roaring Band from Tigerland set off for the legendary home of the Alamo on Saturday. 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. With busses loaded, the students were given a police escort from the parking lot of the high school and cheered on by all of their biggest fans. A sensational send off to an extraordinary event that the students and their band director, Ron Williams, will surely never forget.

MONDAY

With all the current restrictions because of Covid-19, teachers at J.K. Hileman Elementary have had to get creative with their instruction. Last week, students in second and fourth grade took a virtual field trip to the theater to see “The Safety Circus”. Sponsored by SWEPCO, the National Theater for Children presented a virtual lesson in electrical safety through an interactive web platform.
