On Thursday, December 6th, BISD Fine Arts Supervisor Kathleen Jimenez and Choral Supervisor Melody Eriksen visited the Vela Band Hall to congratulate the Record-Breaking "41" All-Region Band Members. They treated the band to some delicious cupcakes!
At Saturday’s TMEA Region 28 Middle School All-Region Band tryout held at Rivera HS, Vela band students earned 41 chairs in the All-Region Band. That breaks the previous record of 40, which also belonged to Vela. We also had 4 students win the coveted 1st Chair in their section.

You have set a new standard of excellence for our band program.
