The Vandegrift marching band and Vision Dance Co. placed 1st in both the prelims and finals for the UIL 6A State Marching Band Contest at the Alamodome in San Antonio on October 30 and 31.  

“A back-to-back State Championship is unheard of and speaks to the dedication of the students and the support from the entire band community of parents, teachers, administrators, and directors at Vandegrift High School,” shared Katherine VanDoren, VHS director of bands. 

“These students truly embody our mission statement, ‘Defining the Standard’ in every aspect of their lives with the band and Vision program; from the way they rehearse, the way they perform, and to the way they treat each other each day,” VanDoren shared.
