Welcome To The Centennial Band
UIL Concert Contest Results
The CHS Band Program reached unprecedented heights this month with their performances at UIL Region 24 Concert & Sight Reading Contest. The contest, held at Centennial, featured 32 ensembles from 12 schools over two full days. The CHS Band was one of only two school to send 4 ensembles to the contest and was the ONLY school to have all 4 ensembles earn 1st division ‘Superior’ ratings from all 6 contest judges! This is the first time this has been accomplished in CHS or FISD history! This is an absolutely incredible accomplishment for our program and we are very proud of our outstanding students for their hard work and dedication in making this a reality!
