Round Rock H.S., TX (AAAA)


The Round Rock Band is a former Grand National finalist, a consistent regional and super regional finalist, and a recipient of the Sudler Shield.

In 2017, Round Rock will be competing at the Austin Regional, the Conroe Regional, the San Antonio Super Regional, and the Grand National Championships.

Round Rock began its season at the Austin Regional, earning an impressive third place overall amid a huge line up of super regional and national finalists. It's certainly a good way to kick off the season.

Later this season, the Rock Band will travel to Houston and San Antonio before concluding the season in Indianapolis at the Grand National Championships. Round Rock has consistently earned a finalist position at Grand Nats since the band started attending regularly in 2013.

Round Rock competed at the Austin Regional and the San Antonio Super Regional.

At Austin, Round Rock earned fourth in prelims and fifth in finals, continuing to place among some of the best bands in the nation. More than a month later at San Antonio, the group continued its consistent success, earning 10th in both prelims and finals.

Round Rock tends to place noticeably better on years they attend Grand Nats. We'll find out if that trend continues next season.

Round Rock competed at the Austin Regional, the Arlington Regional, the San Antonio Super Regional, and the Grand National Championships.

After a tough season in 2014, and subsequent reorganization for 2015, Round Rock fought back into the upper half of the rankings with excellent performances at San Antonio and Grand Nats. The season started with a close third place finish behind Leander and Cedar Park at the Austin Regional. It would have been a first place finish, if not for the 0.5 point penalty Round Rock received.

Two weeks later, Round Rock placed fourth at the Arlington Regional, directly behind the three powerful Lewisville ISD schools: Flower Mound, Hebron, and Marcus.

At San Antonio, Round Rock placed ninth, but their visual caption significantly outperformed their music caption.

At Grand Nats, they finished in seventh, right behind fellow Texas band The Woodlands.

Next year is a UIL State Championship year for Round Rock and we'll see if they can return to the state championships after failing to qualify in 2014.



2014

Round Rock competed at the Austin Regional and the San Antonio Super Regional.

It's no surprise that we love the Round Rock band, but they weren't able to perform at quite the same level we saw in 2013. We were expecting this group to accelerate the pace this year, since their season would end two weeks sooner with San Antonio and UIL Finals instead of Grand Nats. Unfortunately, they didn't even qualify for UIL finals and ended their season in 11th place at San Antonio. Maybe 2015 will see the return of the Round Rock that placed fourth in Grand National Finals.

2013

What a year for Texas bands. Round Rock's stunning improvement from their ninth place finish at San Antonio to their 4th place finish at Grand Nationals (and stunningly grabbing the Music caption in Class AAAA in Semifinals) helped the Dragon Band finish their first GN trip in style. Their show, titled "Elemental Evolution", was a crowd favorite through its musical depiction of the four elements. One of the most memorable moments of Grand National finals was their opening hit — WOW. Lots of excitement is surrounding the Rock Band's history-making in 2013 (when they celebrated their 100th year as a school) and the nation is excited what the next step is for their program.
