The Bandera Independent School District (ISD) is celebrating a major achievement as the Bandera Bulldog Band received a remarkable 1st division rating from all three judges at the Region 29 Marching Band Contest. The event took place at Fredericksburg High School Stadium this past Saturday.

The dedicated students have been diligently working on their performance since July, and their hard work has undeniably paid off. The outstanding rating means that the Bandera Bulldog Band has earned a well-deserved spot at the Area D competition.

The upcoming Area D competition is scheduled to take place at The Phield in Pflugerville, TX, on Saturday, October 21, 2023. The Bandera Bulldog Band is set to perform at 12:45 pm. After their performance, they will eagerly await the results to determine whether they advance to the Finals.

Out of the participating bands, only twelve will have the privilege of competing in the Finals, which are scheduled to begin at 8:30 pm the same day. If they secure a spot in the Finals, six of these top bands will progress to the State competition, slated for Wednesday, November 1, 2023, at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
