The middle school and high school bands and choirs in Abilene ISD were evaluated at the UIL Region 6 East Zone contests on April 3-4.  Bands performed at Cooper High School and choirs sang at Wylie High School.  Eight out of 13 bands and 15 out of 18 choirs who competed earned a UIL award.  Below are the results for 2018.

Both the AHS and CHS varsity bands captured sweepstakes honors by earning Division 1 ratings in concert, sightreading and marching performances. Cooper’s non-varsity also won sweepstakes with top ratings in concert and sightreading, as did the Madison Middle School varsity band.
