After Hurricane Ike flooded the band room with 1 1/2 ft. of water, the Bobcat band is working really hard to play catch up with their 2008 show, "Symphonic Journey".
Musically challenging and the drill is a true test of endurance. As always, the band will entertain and the show must go on.
The Pride of Erath. Erath Bobcat Marching Band 2008
This band is coming out of the shoot fast and furious. They started their competition season with a bang and are getting more confident each week. This 2008 band consist of around 67 band students and 12 on their color guard.
Band director Mr Kenny Broussard and Assistant Band Director Mike Vizier have gotten these kids so far and has establised a name for this band in the competition circuit. I hear people complement these students and tell me that they don' t have any kids or grandkids playing with another school and they just come to hear Erath play!
<b> We are competiting at the UL Showcase to be held on Saturday October 25th at Cajun Field. </b>
