CTHS Ranger Regiment represents EMS ISD on 99.5 the Wolf radio station




Chisholm Trail High School's Ranger Regiment marching band was selected as the "Best Band in the Land," a weekly radio-series on 99.5 The Wolf radio station and was featured on Friday, September 2.
 
"We are very proud to represent all of the students and faculty at Chisholm Trail High School and Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD," said John Canfield, CTHS Director of Bands. 
 
The CTHS marching band was recognized for winning four UIL First Division Marching trophies, one UIL Area Marching Championship, and a bid to the UIL State Marching Championships in only four years since its opening. They were also named "Best in Class" at several invitational marching contests in Texas and Oklahoma. 
 
This year's drum majors include seniors Richard Culpepper, Britton Melton, and Valeria Mora. The Ranger Regiment is under the direction of John Canfield, Derrick Doyle, Hannah Stephens, Todd Marchand, and Molly Owen. 
 
We are #emsproud of our Ranger Regiment! Keep up the great work.
