On Friday, March 27th, the Hawk Band performed at the Region 12 UIL Concert and Sightreading Evaluation at Seguin HS. The band earned 1st divisions from all 6 judges, a perfect score, which led them to the 2025-2026 Sweepstakes Award (1st Division in Marching Band, 1st Division in Concert band and 1st Division in Sightreading). The Hawks prepared the following pieces: Choose Joy by Randall Standridge, Mil Estrellas by George Vargas and Undertow by John Mackey. Judges’ comments included the following:

• “Loved your performance! Thank you! I truly appreciate the controlled enthusiasm and energy with which you play. …Congratulations to all students, directors, parents, and community! Wow! Quite the band of which to be very proud!!!” Bryan Christian
• “Excellent technique in all sections…Thank you for your hard work on preparing for today's UIL program. There are many great things happening with this ensemble.“ Richard Flores
• “Beautiful tone qualities in al sections; excellent percussion…outstanding horn section. Excellent stage presence. Ensemble plays with spirit and excitement. Nice attention to all technical and lyrical components needed for a beautiful presentation. I applaud the attention to detail. It is nice to hear a band play full but play relaxed so that you allow the music to move from mechanical to lyrical in nature… Best wishes and congrats on a job well done.” James Miculka

It was a wonderful day for the Hawk Band!
