The Nixon-Smiley High School Band is proud to announce that 11th-grader Emilie Janicek has earned a gold medal for her recent performance at the Texas State Solo & Ensemble Contest in the Twirling category.

This year’s contest was held virtually with asynchronous judging, where students had to submit a video recording of their performance. Emilie’s twirling routine earned her a First Division rating, a top honor, along with compliments on her choice of costume. Great job, Emilie!
