8th grade Symphonic Band member, Tag Gilbride, presents the 5-year Superior Award to Mr. Colo'n, Band Director. Tag was a member of the 68 piece group last March who was the 5th consecutive superior Hobbs band at its yearly evaluation.

For the first time in the school’s 52 year history, the Hobbs Band has received the Florida Bandmasters Association’s “5-Year Superior Award” for having been rated Superior the last 5 consecutive years, 2016 - 2020, at our yearly Music Performance Assessments! Superior equates the grade of "A" from the 3 stage judges and the sight-reading judge.  Due to Covid, the award was recently mailed to HMS instead of presented at the yearly state FBA meeting. A big thank you for your hard work if you were a part of any of the past 5 Symphonic Bands at Hobbs!
