It’s no easy feat getting hundreds of students across Texas for the State Marching Contest. Not only does it take your own village – sometimes, it’s necessary to borrow one.
When the Waxahachie ISD marching band needed somewhere to rehearse, the Johnson High School band program opened its doors and made a big impact on their visitors.
Read below a letter of praise from Waxahachie ISD Director of Bands Rich Armstrong.
“On behalf of Waxahachie ISD, I would like to say thank you for the amazing hospitality North East ISD extended to our students, parents and community while we attended the 6A State Marching Contest.
Jarret Lipman, his band staff, parents, and students provided the Waxahachie Marching Band with fantastic rehearsal facilities, hospitality and assistance. These resources allowed our students the opportunity to get more practice in before performing at the Alamodome that morning for the prelims of the state contest.
The staff, students and parents were extremely courteous, kind and helpful in setting up and accommodating our ensemble. The atmosphere at CT Johnson was positive and extremely professional and our team felt at ease the entire visit.
I cannot say enough great things about Jarrett Lipman, his staff, students and his parents. They were fantastic and made sure that we were treated well. Thank you for creating a culture where collaboration, mutual respect and professionalism are everyday occurrences.”
