ARAGON MIDDLE SCHOOL SYMPHONIC BAND/UIL'S - BRADLEY

Let me start by saying that Bradley REALLY is enjoying band!

Aragon participated in UIL's this weekend competing against 20 other schools. They did a great job performing 3 musical pieces and a sight reading. The sight reading contest is an incredible thing to observe. The band is escorted to a room where they are presented a musical piece in which they have most likely never seen, practiced or heard before. Mrs. Hall (our incredible band conductor) has 8 minutes to go through the music with the band without ever playing a single note... after which, the band performs. How did they do you may ask? Well, let's just say... they kicked butt!!!! Below are videos from the contest. We are not allowed to video the sight reading. The quality is poor, but the audio is good! The band received the highest marks (1's) in all their performances. CLICK on the arrow button to view videos!

Note: The video below blacks out during the performance due to a power outage from the storms yesterday. It's a shame... they were having it professionally recorded :o(
