"Leander ISD is abuzz with
excitement about the Cedar Park High School Band's State Championship. The 210-member CPHS
Band's historic achievement sets a standard of excellence that will be felt for years
across our district. We congratulate then on a job well done." Tom Glenn.- Superintendent LISD |
"About 200 Class 4A bands
throughout Texas strove to make it to the state competition and were weeded out through
regional and area competitions. In the end, only seven made it to the last stage. Michelle M. Martinez mmmartinez@statement.com Austin American-Statesman |

The Cedar Park High School Timberwolf Band is directed by Ron Morrison, assisted by Steve Wessels, Ronnie Pruitt, Paul Garretson and Brigitta Baker. |
We had a great evening tonite ...Niki's band performed their marching
program for the parents in the school gym. The local newspaper Austin American
Statesman covered the event - so we hope to have some more clippings for the ole
scrapebook soon. Every band member was awarded a BIG (and I do mean BIG) gold medal for winning the state championships. Then Niki and about 5 other students were given a special ceremony as induction to the National Honor Society - they missed the original ceremony due to State Marching contest. I did not get digital pics of the NHS induction but will scan a couple of "regular" photos in, when the film is developed. Alek was a true fan - attending all of niki's performances - and grandpa was kind enough to pick us up! Poor dad had to be at a shoot for a film he is working on and grandma had church activities ... but they were there in spirit. Niki's evening ended with flowers sent from uncle ron and his family. Needless to say - she felt like the queen bee this evening but after all her hard work musically and academically - we'll let her rule for one night :) The bleachers were very high up. Niki is the one in the middle, in front of the middle drum in the back, and surrounded by tall guys - one guy had a big afro that I had a hard time shooting around. |
