On Dec. 5, the Hays Band overcame dreary conditions to capture second place out of eight total bands performing at the UIL 6A Area D Marching Contest held at Bob Shelton Stadium. Hays finished with a total of 10 points, which was second only to Area D champion San Antonio Johnson. As a result, Hays qualified to perform at 2:16 p.m. Dec. 15 at the UIL 6A state marching contest at the Alamodome in San Antonio. It will be Hays’ first appearance at the state marching contest since 2009 when the program competed at the 4A (now 5A) level. The Hays Band’s Dec. 16 performance will be the program’s 8th all-time trip to state since the UIL began hosting Marching Band competitions in 1979. Hays is under the direction of John Rauschuber and their 2020 program is entitled “Moving Forward.”
