All FISD Bands Beam at UIL ContestsFrom Frisco ISD:All FISD Bands Beam at UIL ContestsMay 01, 2023Written by Stephanie McCrackenEach year, Frisco ISD high school bands make big plans to participate in the Region 24 UIL Concert and Sight-Reading Evaluation. Students commit many hours and several months to prepare and compete during the April competition. Their efforts paid off as all 12 high schools proudly earned Superior ratings, the highest possible score. During the contest, bands prepare and practice a concert program to perform in front of a panel of judges. Additionally, the bands participate in a sight-reading evaluation where they are required to learn a new piece of music onsite to perform. Each portion is graded on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the highest recognition of “Superior.” A big congratulations to these bands and their directors for their amazing talent and for being awarded Superior division one ratings in concert and sight-reading this competition season!Centennial High School
