PEDIGREE - LOL - Yes it is important - BUT I BELIEVE that one of the most successful band programs in TEXAS from right outside DENTON won the State UIL Marching Contest the VERY FIRST YEAR as having a high school in their school district (prior to that all the HS students went to Denton ISD). Now that being said... yes there is a very special things that set that up but PEDIGREE was not in it (is now though).

Community, Administration, Parent, students and teaching staff all make it happen (SAME FOR THE PEDIGREES)
