3/30/2025 M100 Weekend Update

Dear M100 Family,

I am incredibly proud of each of the performances that our program has put forth over the past few days! The band had a wonderful Pre-UIL performance, the Winter Guard had a very strong performance to conclude their state qualifying competitive season, and both of our jazz ensembles represented themselves well at the Temple College Jazz Festival. I am looking forward to developing our program even further as we push to the end of the year!

Here is your weekend update!
