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.

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

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.

 D'Hanis
girls basketball..... The most underrated aspect of coaching
is the ability to motivate your players and make adjustments at
halftime. Judging by Saturday’s game, a 55-40 victory for the D’Hanis
Cowgirls over the La Pryor Lady Bulldogs, Coach Todd Craft made
all the right moves and must have said the right
things. Full Story
