This year's U.I.L. 5A Area C marching competition was held at Mesquite Memorial Stadium on Saturday, October 26, 2002.
The Escadrille performed great and as usual got the audience on their feet with excitement. They got about as close to going to State as you can come and were chosen as the second alternate for the U.I.L. State Marching Band competition.
CONGRATULATIONS, ESCADRILLE!!
Area C invites all the bands from Regions 3, 4, 21, and 24 that earned a First Division rating at their respective region contests. Area C comprises geographically North and East Texas beginning with Mesquite and Garland. These are great bands, color guards, and drill teams and each performance represents thousands of hours of work.
