After months of hard work and dedication, the White Oak High School Band will be traveling to San Antonio for the State Marching Contest on Monday, November 2nd, 2015.
The Regiment of Roughnecks has been working hard since early August and the hard work is finally paying off, it wasn’t always like this though, at first it was very difficult. The freshmen weren’t that well at first, but they’ve definitely improved. Kary Cinotto, senior, was interviewed, “Did you think we would make it this far, especially to state?”
“No, because I feel like a lot of people didn’t have their stuff together and I didn’t think they realized how important this is and how big of a deal this is.” Cinotto said.
The band has spent countless hours to fix those mistakes and the band has been doing a wonderful job in advancing to state.
State only happens every two years so seniors are definitely emotional as this is their last time to march in the Alamo-Dome as a White Oak High Schooler. Landry Seimars, Senior and Drum Major, was interviewed:
“How does it feel to lead the whole band to state?” “It feels really good, especially sophomore year I just really wanted to win state and coming back senior year, being able to go back and lead the band is just a really great feeling and I’m glad I have the opportunity to do so.”
