🎉 Fine Arts Pride at Point Isabel ISD! 🎶💙

This past weekend was an exciting one for our students! Our HS Color Guard competed at the TECA event at Juarez Lincoln HS, facing 19 novice units and earning an impressive 6th place finish in their class. We are incredibly proud of their emotional performance, strong teamwork, and the amazing crowd response! 👏✨

We also celebrate our JH musicians who represented PIISD at the TMEA Middle School All-Region Clinic & Concert. Congratulations to Jen Castillo (8th grade oboe) and Lia Moore (8th grade flute) for performing alongside the top 5A/6A middle school musicians in Region 28. Their dedication and talent truly shined! 🎼🌟
