In a landmark event for Texas performing arts, the Brewer High School Honeycomb Drill Team has been awarded a Division 1 rating in a pioneering University Interscholastic League (UIL) program, a collaboration with the Texas Dance Educators Association. The recognition places the Honeycomb Drill Team at the forefront of a competitive arena that will soon extend to drill teams across the state.
The City of White Settlement broadcasted the team’s accomplishment on social media, hailing it as a "historic achievement." They celebrated the beginning of what is expected to be a statewide UIL Assessment Competition for Texas drill teams. The praise for the team’s exceptional performance comes ahead of the 10th Annual Honeycomb Market at Brewer High School, slated for next Saturday, November 16, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., an event the community is eagerly anticipating.
According to the City of White Settlement's social media post, the UIL's assessment pilot program allows dance teams to receive formal recognition for their discipline, precision, and creativity, which has traditionally been acknowledged in sports and academics. The Honeycomb Drill Team's Division 1 rating signifies the highest level of achievement within this new framework.
The pilot UIL program, in collaboration with the Texas Dance Educators Association, signals a shifting focus towards inclusivity and the importance of performing arts in Texas high schools. The Honeycomb Drill Team, known for its dynamic performances and commitment to excellence, has set the standard high for what is possible within this evolving space. The 10th Annual Honeycomb Market, too offers a chance for community engagement and support for the arts at Brewer High School, with promises of crafts, food, and entertainment.
