On March 7-8, Denton ISD middle school bands performed in the UIL Region 2 Concert and Sight-reading Assessment, which took place at Lake Dallas High School. We are proud to announce that 10 DISD MS bands received 1st Division ratings in both concert and sight-reading, earning the UIL Sweepstakes Award. Also, an additional band earned a 1st Division Concert Award and another earned a 1st Division Sight-reading Award.
