This Saturday, orchestra musicians from most all middle schools will be visiting Driscoll for 2013’s Solo and Ensemble contest. From violins to the double bass, students have been practicing classical pieces on their own or with a friend in hopes to get a gold medal. Getting a good score is honorable and fun for the orchestra students, and good for resumes. A 1 is the best score, 2 is second, 3 is third, and 4 is last. Those who memorize their piece and do an exemplary performance get an Outstanding award. Good luck Driscoll!

Students, on Monday, January 21st we will be a holiday due to Martin Luther King Jr. day. So be sure you don’t come to school Monday! Have a great 3 day weekend!
Do you know who Martin Luther King Jr was and what he stood for?
He stood for equal rights for any color and any race and wanted us to all be free.
Wednesday night, our girls 7th grade basketball team played a great and exciting game against Kreuger MS. The game ended in a 1 point victory for our girls, while the Kreuger girls missed a shot that rattled in and out of the basket as the time expired. Great game and win! Good job girls! Enjoy some pics!
Last Friday, Driscoll’s orchestra, band, and choir performed exceptionally well at the AT&T Center for the San Antonio Rampage hockey game.
First was the orchestra, who performed Firework by Katy Perry, Clocks by Coldplay, the Final Countdown, and the Pink Panther as the center opened.
Next was our choir, who performed the Star Spangled Banner.
Lastly, the band performed fun tunes during the game in their Superbox. All together, they had a fun time appearing on the big screen, cheering at the game, and having the privilege to perform for the Rampage.
Rampage won against Lake Erie Monsters 4-2.
Good Job Everyone!!!
