Honored band members
Three students at Boerne and Champion high schools have been named to the 2022 All-State Band. Boerne’s Savanna Strause (saxophone) and Connor West (trombone) were selected to the Association of Texas Small School Bands (ATSSB) All-State squad while Champion’s Ethan Ratliff (right) earned a spot on the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) All-State Band. This is the second year in a row that Ratliff has been named All-State. Becoming an allstate band member is one of the highest achievements an individual band student can earn, and less than 0.5 percent of all participants can earn the honor. 01/18/2022 12:00 AM

Planning for incapacity because we never know
Planning for incapacity because we never know

Consider that at some point before your eventual death, you could be incapacitated by accident or illness. 01/18/2022 12:00 AM
