CONGRATULATIONS BAND on an "EXCELLENT" marching season so far! The Rating of a 2 is considered "Excellent". UIL marching is over for us but we still have a chance for another outstanding performance at the SISD Marchfest this Saturday 10/21/17. It is a Prelim/Finals type of contest so we may get to perform twice! The performance can be seen on live stream at https://elpasoheraldpost.com/sisd-marchfest-2017-streamed-live/
Great Job this past week with Homecoming- parade, Burning of the B and football game performance. Students, I hope you will forever remember getting to play Malaguena with Mr. Kenny Capshaw, the 2017 Burges HS Honored Ex! I know it will be one of the highlights of my teaching career.
