The spotlight shone brightly on the Spartan Regiment Indoor Drum Line at the recent Board Meeting on May 12, 2025, as they celebrated their remarkable achievements in the world of competitive music. The group, led by Brent Smith, was recognized for their outstanding performance at the WGI World Championships in Dayton, Ohio, marking their fifth appearance in the Scholastic World Class Finals—the most by any Texas school.

Richard Kearns and Andrew Klein, who oversee the program, expressed immense pride in the students' dedication and hard work. "The hours these students put in are unreal," Kearns stated, highlighting their commitment not only to the drum line but also to concert bands and solo performances. The Centennial Indoor Drum Line has now secured eight consecutive NTCA North Texas Indoor Drum Line championships and achieved their highest placement ever, finishing fifth in the world finals.

The recognition didn't stop there. The meeting also honored the powerlifting teams from Centennial High School and BHS, with Coach Garrison Hendricks praising the athletes for their perseverance through early morning practices and late-night competitions.

These accolades reflect the strong community support and the dedication of both students and parents, showcasing the vibrant extracurricular culture in Texas schools. As the board meeting concluded, the achievements of these young athletes and musicians served as a testament to the hard work and commitment that define their programs.
