Spotlight on Southwood Musicians
Tonight, the Board had the privilege of hearing extraordinary performances from the Southwood High School Music and Performing Arts Department, a program with a long-standing tradition of excellence.
Under the leadership of Mr. Holden, now in his 19th year as Department Chair and Director of Bands, the Southwood Band Program has earned 17 consecutive years of superior ratings and was recently named Grand Champion at the Orlandofest National Competition. A special highlight of the evening featured Senior Band President Jada Powell, performing “Sweet Love” with the Southwood Jazz Ensemble.
We were also honored to hear from the Southwood Concert Choir, led by Mr. Anthony Cheathem, who has rebuilt the choir from just eleven students to a thriving ensemble of thirty-three. Their performance of “Come Here Jesus, If You Please” showcased the talent and dedication of these young vocalists.
Thank you to our Southwood musicians for sharing your talents with the Board and our community. Your performances continue to elevate the arts across Caddo Parish.

Proud of the hard work and fight this team has shown. What an awesome moment for our school and community.
How ’bout them Cowboys! "
