The Shelbyville High School Band is celebrating a major achievement after earning 1st place in the march category of the ATSSB Outstanding Performance Series State Competition held last Thursday in San Antonio. The victory marks a significant milestone for the band, showcasing the dedication and talent of its student musicians and directors.  The ATSSB (Association of Texas Small School Bands) Outstanding Performance Series is a prestigious competition that highlights the best performances from small school bands across Texas.  OPS is an annual competition where all 1A through 4A school bands throughout the state submit recordings of their UIL concert songs.  The recordings then progress through the Region, Area and finally the State levels.  Shelbyville has only received the 1st place, state distinction one of other time in 2018.

In addition to the top honor in the march category, the band also earned 6th place for a seperate song entry in the concert category, demonstrating excellence across multiple areas of performance.

“We are incredibly proud of our students for their hard work and musical growth throughout the year,” said Shelbyville Band Director John Kennon. “Placing first in the march category at state is a huge accomplishment, and placing sixth in the concert category speaks to the well-rounded talent of this group.  This is a significant confidence boost to start the new year.”
