Thanks to a gift from the legendary Metallica, Boerne High School is sporting some brand new instruments!
The school won Metallica's "For Whom The Band Tolls" contest, which awarded them $15,000 in instruments and music equipment! Metallica challenged marching bands across the country to create performances that incorporated Metallica's music.
Boerne Band Director Daniel Person told KSAT, "The prize money was used to buy an entirely new bassline to replace those used since 2010. We also purchased several new instruments, so our incoming freshmen all have instruments for the marching and concert season.
"We've also purchased an instrument that would give students with financial need access to a high-quality instrument through the school."
Boerne's submission in the contest featured a four-minute medley of songs, including "For Whom the Bell Tolls," "Enter Sandman," "Fade to Black," "Seek and Destroy," and "Master of Puppets," which you can watch below!
While several high schools and colleges in Texas were among the finalists, Boerne was the only Texas school to win in any category.
