he Argyle High School band had an unbelievable season. The band was named Grand Champion and swept every caption at all contests entered. This included the Ponder Marching Invitational, Sounds of Springtown Marching Contest, UIL Region 2 Marching Contest, UIL Area B Marching Contest, and the UIL State Marching Contest. This is the seventh state title for the band and ties the all-time gold medal record for State Marching Contest titles among all classifications in Texas.
ATSSB REGION 2 ALL-REGION BAND In November, the Argyle High School Band had 46 students who auditioned, made, and performed in the ATSSB Region 2 Band. Argyle represented a third of the band. These students are the best high school musicians across the Northern DFW area. As a reward, these students attended a virtual leadership workshop with motivational and leadership speaker Jeremy Spicer. Of the 46 musicians that made the All-Region Band, 28 of them advanced to the area round.

THE ARGYLE HIGH SCHOOL BAND IS NAMED STATE MARCHING CONTEST CHAMPION! ATSSB ALL-STATE BAND STUDENTS Thousands of students across the state audition for one of these spots, and less than 1% will make the All-State ensemble. The students will represent Argyle ISD and North Texas at the All-State Clinic and Concert in June. Congratulations to Tyler Lansberry and Amanda Mason.
BE A PART OF THE BAND! In addition to the social events and musical concepts students will learn in band, students will strengthen a number of character traits that will lead them to success in the classroom, on the field, or in the gym. There is a place for everybody in band! We will begin to test current 5th graders on instruments around spring break, and we want you to be a part of it!
