Brahma Band


This past Saturday the EBISD Saxophone Quartet competed in the Houston Underground Saxophone Quartet Competition. It was purely voluntary and the students had to organize and submit the forms to compete in the competition themselves.  This competition is the largest of its kind in the United States and had 22 ensembles from all over the area competing in it. Many of the ensembles also compete at the national and international level.  The Judges were all Professors of Saxophone from distinguished colleges of music around the country.
Our Quartet scored well from the judges and represent EBISD with distinction.  They also got some great performance experience and critiques to help them get ready for State Solo and Ensemble next week.


The members of the EBISD Saxophone Quartet are:
Emily Barbossa

Scarlett McCain
Morgan Swaboda
Lily Thurman
 We also have two other ensembles competing at State Solo and Ensemble this weekend as well as two soloists

BRAHMA BASEBALL - AREA CHAMPIONS!


Congratulations go out the East Bernard Brahmas in becoming the 2013 Area Champions.
The Brahmas defeated the Blanco Panthers Saturday night by a score 2-0.
Josh Vincek got the win for the good guys by pitching a complete game and only allowing one hit. 
Scoring came in the 4th inning when Jacob and Josh Vincek had back to back base hits. Nathan Hlavinka followed with a long drive into the right center gap scoring Jacob for the first run. Tyler Sulak, who was courtesy running for Josh was thrown out at the plate in very close play.  The second run scored when  Garrett Polak sacrificed Nathan from second to third and a wild throw from the Blanco 2nd baseman to 1st base allowed for Hlavinka to cross the plate.
Come support the Brahmas as they take on Hallettsville in the Regional Quarterfinals of the Texas State Playoffs. The games will be as follows:
Game 1:        Thursday(May 16th) -  @ Weimar   7:30 pm
Game 2          Saturday(May 18) -     @ Weimar   2:00 pm
