Magnolia HS earns 1st place, Magnolia West earns 4th place

 

Saturday, October 22nd at Ray Maddry Stadium in Channelview ISD saw records set for the Magnolia ISD high school marching bands at the UIL Area marching contest. When results were announced, Magnolia High School was awarded first place, Area I champion, and Magnolia West earned fourth place, the highest placement in school history.

Both bands performed admirably for the multiple judges and large crowd. Magnolia high school’s production, Carpe Noctem (Seize the Night), and Magnolia West’s production, Gold Rush, was filled with content, pageantry, and artistry.

The Magnolia HS band is under the direction of Patrick Beavers, Lauren Kylberg, Anthony Jackson, and Kaila Spoonemoore with assistance from the Magnolia High School Band Booster Club.

The Magnolia West band is under the direction of Andrew Hicks, Kayla Ogden, Jordan Masters, and Justin Hike with assistance from the Magnolia West High School Band Boosters.
