On October 20th, the band received a Division 1 rating for the Pigskin competition.

“It felt great to get a Division 1. Practice was definitely hard for everyone as we pushed ourselves to the max. I think it absolutely paid off,” senior Renè Ortiz said. Even though the band members practiced every day for this competition, some still felt nervous performing in front of the judges.

“Yes I was very nervous because you never know what you are going to get. But I kept smiling; I didn’t want to let my team down,” senior Cynthia Serna said.

For Ortiz, he was nervous waiting for the results.

“Yes I was nervous because you never know how the judges are feeling that day and how they felt your music, ” Ortiz said.
