Sophomore Brennen Copeland rehearses with the men’s choir. Copeland will perform in both the band and choir concerts.

The band and choir will host their pre-UIL concerts Thursday, April 4 and Monday, April 8, respectively, each at 7 p.m. in the auditorium.

Attendance is free, and all high school bands and choirs, varsity and non-varsity, will perform. The concerts precede the annual UIL contests later this month.

“Our rehearsals have been going well, but performance is a whole different level of execution,” head band director Mike Sheffield said. “We need to get the nerves of performance out from under us. It will also help me know what is truly going well and what needs to improve in the next two weeks.”
