Hondo High School senior, Marina Dominguez, will take the stage Feb. 13 with the All-State Band when they perform at the Grand Hyatt Ballroom in San Antonio. She and 18 other Owl Band students auditioned in December as more than 9,000 band students statewide competed at the regional level.

Dominguez performed at Fredericksburg High School in January with several other Owl Band members who earned spots on the Regional Concert or Symphonic bands. (See page 8C.) The clarinet player, who is also the Owl Band’s drum major, advanced to area competition, then state, earning a chair in the All-State Band.

“This is a very difficult thing to do,” said Owl Band Director Bob Howard. “It’s a real honor for Marina.”

She is the daughter of Johnny and Tabatha Dominguez.

Life


Sherril Welch of Hondo traveled to Houston to join her daughter, Kimber Welch Robinson (Right), on a unique project. The talented artists had been commissioned to paint a mural for Northwinds Construction, Inc., a 25-year-old general construction company that specializes in design and construction of build-to-suit and development projects throughout Texas. Welch and Robinson were given a 70-square-foot wall in Northwinds’ conference room on which to paint the Houston skyline.


Sherril Welch (Above) details windows on an office building in the mural of the Houston skyline. Daughter, Kimber Welch Robinson, is pictured with the nearly-finished project.

UIL Realignment.....       The Hondo Owls are staying in familiar territory for another two years.  When the University Interscholastic League announced its Reclassification and Realignment at 9 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 1, HHS was placed, for the 2010-2012 school years, in District 27-AAA, along with current district rivals Carrizo Springs, Crystal City, Devine, Lytle, Pearsall and new member, Somerset. The only new addition to the current alignment is Somerset, which takes Bandera's place.  Bandera is aligned with Hondo's current district for football only, so their league affiliation with the Owls' has already ended.   Full Story
