Band to play contest pieces
The Albany High School band will compete in the UIL Region 6, East Zone band concert and sightreading contest in Abilene next week.
The contest takes place at Cooper High School over two days, and Albany is scheduled to play on the second day, Wednesday, April 3.
“We have 26 band members in grades eight through 12, and we are coming along pretty well,” said Albany band instructor John Stockdale. “We have a good program; we just need to polish it. I am hoping that we can get in three or four more practices with everybody there.”
