With Facebook down this morning, we weren't able to send our well wishes to the Rocket Regiment as they competed in the UIL Concert and Sight Reading Contest today in Panhandle. Not only did the band due a fantastic job marching 15th Street to send our Lady Rockets off last week, but they also put in extra practices to prepare for today. While the results are not what we wanted, we especially want to thank our four seniors for their leadership to the band since they have been in 8th grade. Thanks Kali Brewer, Cece Granadoz, Cortlyn McKinley and Addy Mock. Thanks also to Mr. Mixon and Mrs. Warrick for all you do for our bands. We are always proud of you Rocket Regiment!
