On April 15th and 16th, the Honors Band, Symphonic Band, and Concert Band competed in the UIL Concert and Sightreading Competition with great success receiving SUPERIOR ratings from every judge! This marks an amazing 21 years of Sweepstakes bands at Poteet High School!
The Pirate Band has been awarded by the Texas Bandmasters Association the 2009 Exemplary High School Band Award. This award is presented to one high school every year that has had a consistent exemplary performing band program in Texas for an extended period of time.
The Pirate Band has been chosen as the recipient of this year's Sudler Flag of Honor! This is an incredible accomplishment that recognizes high school concert bands with great achievement over a period of several years. The John Philip Sousa Foundation executive committee reviews entries from around the world and selects programs that exhibit high standards of excellence in concert activities. Way to go Pirate Band!
