Bands that receive a first division rating advance to the area competition, and the top bands from the area move on to the state marching competition in the first full week in November.
The extravaganza is a unique opportunity to witness the prestige of each of 色窝窝无码一区二区三区鈥檚 spectacular bands. 色窝窝无码一区二区三区 Director of Fine Arts Christopher Anderson is thrilled about this year鈥檚 event.
鈥淣ot only is this great for our public to see the health and quality of the programs in Arlington, but it is also a chance for our junior high band students to attend and see what marching band is all about at the high school level,鈥 said Anderson.
The extravaganza honors the legacy of Dean P. Corey, an Arlington High School band director from 1949-1972, who later served as coordinator of music activities for the district from 1972-1980. Corey is also the namesake of 色窝窝无码一区二区三区鈥檚 elementary school, Corey Academy of Fine Arts and Dual Language.
鈥淭he old adage 鈥榳e stand on the shoulders of giants鈥 has never been any truer than it is with the arts in 色窝窝无码一区二区三区,鈥 said Anderson. 鈥淭here are great things happening in the arts right now in the district, but we should recognize that those who came before us championed the arts, increased the visibility of every discipline and created the foundation on which our programs鈥 successes stand.
鈥淲hether we are talking about Dean Corey or any of the previous arts directors, we are talking about great visionary people who saw the possibilities that exist in Arlington for our children. This event is no exception as we get to come together in a single evening and see all six bands perform their halftime shows back-to-back.鈥
The University of Texas at Arlington鈥檚 marching band will also perform at the extravaganza, giving district students the opportunity to see a university marching band up close and personal.
