Shelbyville Dragon Band Continues Tradition of Earning UIL Sweepstakes Award

April 20, 2018 - On April 18 the Shelbyville High School Band performed at UIL Region 21 Concert and Sight-reading Contest in Bullard, Texas. The band received a first division rating from every judge on both the concert stage and in sight-reading.

This is this ninth consecutive year that the Shelbyville HS band has earned first division ratings at UIL Marching, Concert, and Sight-reading contests making them a “SWEEPSTAKES BAND.”

Some of the judges’ comments were as follows: “Great energy and clarity.” “My gracious ya’ll are musical!” “Band, I hope you know you’ve been lifted in your education beyond the level of meeting a minimum standard to a level of artistic expression.”

We are very proud of our students, and are looking forward to performing for you at the Shelbyville Bands spring concert will be held on Monday, May 7, 2018 at 6pm.
