LFHS Ends Run at Area Marching Contest Finals

The Los Fresnos High School Marching Band advanced to the finals of the Area Marching Contest in San Antonio Saturday, but did not qualify to state as one of the top eight bands.

LFHS received a rating of 1 at the 72nd Annual UIL Pigskin Jubilee Marching Competition Oct. 18 in San Benito to qualify for area.
After an opening-round performance at 11 a.m. Saturday, the Falcon Band received one of 20 top ratings to qualify for the finals Saturday night.
At the Saturday night finals, only eight would be chosen to advance to qualify for the State Marching Contest at the Alamodome in San Antonio Nov. 3-4.

LFHS placed 14th out of the 40 bands that competed.

The LFHS Band’s performance for the season is entitled “Conflicted,” which was written and arranged by Carol Brittin Chambers. It is inspired by Gandalf’s “In the Presence of Angels,” Alexander Borodin’s “Polovetsian Dances,” Bliss’ “A Hundred Thousand Angels,” Frank Ticheli’s “Angels in the Architecture,” and Carol Brittin Chambers’ “Conflicted.”
