The Arts Fifteen students received Superior Ratings at the TPSMEA North Region Solo/Ensemble Festival, half of the band members were selected for honors bands across ATSSB, TPSMEA, and Four-States, with four students selected for the TPSMEA All-State Band. Abigail Martin received the Band Golden Falcon award. Finally, our Jazz Band performed as part of the live New Orleans music scene, playing a one-hour set outside at the Spanish Plaza, and received straight Superior Ratings at the TPSMEA North Region Concert and Sight-Reading competition. Our Falcons soared to new heights with their musical talents this year! In the classroom, students were able to experience several amazing projects led by the Art Department. Seventh grade students studied impressionism in painting, painting flower vases with their own interpretations of the style. They also learned to grid sketch drawings, and plan proportions. The beautiful outcomes served as Mother’s Day gifts for our Falcon moms. Other art classes offered to students are Advanced Painting, Photography, Film, and Drawing/Painting. Bishop Dunne’s hallways are regularly adorned with the amazing artwork completed by our talented students. Seniors Gabriella Saucedo and Katelyn Bagwell placed first and second, respectively, in the North Oak Cliff Dia de los Muertos competition, and the National Art Honor Society members completed over 100 community service hours while participating in nine contests and shows. Gabriella Saucedo received a Golden Falcon for Art. Our Falcons are shining brightly in every creative outlet of the arts! WWW.BDCS.ORG
