THE CONFIDENCE GROUP, DALLAS ISD PARTNER FOR THE RETURN OF THE 2023 HIGH SCHOOL BATTLE OF THE BANDS

The Dallas’ iconic High School Battle of the Bands reemerged better than ever over the weekend at Sprague Athletic Complex September 30th, 2023. The beloved event that has historically drawn in thousands of passionate music enthusiasts did it again.

The Dallas community started arriving around 7 a.m. and packed out the stadium and parking lot to cheer their favorite bands on. The competition’s return was made possible through The Confidence Group, who sponsored the beloved annual event in collaboration with Dallas ISD and Dean Hill, legendary band director who worked in Dallas ISD for 47 years and has been a catalyst for the Battle of the Bands for many years. All proceeds from ticket sales were donated to DISD to fund the fine arts programs.
