Congratulations to the Walker Honor Band!

Walker Honor Band makes a clean Sweep!

The Walker Honor Band made a clean sweep of Pre-UIL Concert and Sight reading evaluations.  They received a 1st division rating from all judges on both judging panels.  This is a tremendous accomplishment and the first time this has happened in Walker history.

I am so proud of you students.  You have set the bar high this year.  In two weeks we will perform at UIL Regionals. We travel on 4/8 and 4/9.  Let's keep working toward our best performance of the year.
