On Wednesday morning, we will travel to Melissa for the UIL Region 25 Marching Contest. This event takes place during the school day. Call time is 7:15am at Lovelady HS. Instead of being ranked against other schools, our performance will be given a rating (Division I, II, III, IV, or V) based on judging criteria. If we earn a Division I rating, we will advance to compete at the UIL Area Marching Contest in McKinney on October 31st.


The contest is held at Coach Kenny Deel Stadium in Melissa and is open to the public. A link to purchase tickets is included in the itinerary.

6 HOURS + EVERY BAND FAMILY = A STRONGER SEASON!

Marching season is here, and we need our amazing families to help make WICKED GAMES and the 2026 season a success!

We are asking each band family to contribute a minimum of 6 volunteer hours this season.

With so many students to support, those six hours can make a HUGE difference! Choose the dates and opportunities that work best for your family. You can complete your hours at once or spread them throughout the season. Your time helps make these experiences possible for our students and allows our directors and staff to focus on what matters most — our students and their success. Every helping hand counts!
