Band recieves top Honors

The Roaring Cougar band of Rosebud-Lott High School received top honors last week at the regional marching contest at LaVega High School. This makes the 17th straight year of the band receiving top honors in regional competition. The band now moves on to the area competition this weekend in Whitney. The band has previously competed in the Troy Marching Competition and at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor Marching Competition, earning top awards each time. The competition this weekend in Whitney is in a finals format. Bands will march their show  and the top 10 that are chosen will march again in the evening hours to finalize the top places. The top performing bands will advance to the state competition on November 5-6, in San Antonio.
