Tenaha, Timpson bands advance to State
John Krueger)
Just as they did in 2007 (the last time that Class A competed in the state marching contest), directors Rhonda Cates and Eric Sanford have once again led the Tenaha Tiger Band to San Antonio to compete for the State Marching Title. They will be joined by the cross-county band from Timpson High School.
Carlisle finished as the top seed at the Area competition, with Tenaha coming in second and Timpson third.
The band will depart Sunday morning at 6 a.m. to head to San Antonio for rehearsal and their performance time will be at 10:51 a.m. Monday at the 60,000-seat Alamodome in the prelims. Timpson is scheduled to perform at 8:41 a.m., while Carlisle is set to perform at 9:55 a.m.
If the Tigers finish the prelims in the top 7 out of 16 they will return for the finals that evening. The Tigers will perform 13th in order, behind the 2007 champions, Forsan. Also, advancing from our region is Carlisle and Timpson.
