Musicians Win Regional Honors

During the fall semester, students auditioned for the various Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) Region 25 bands and orchestras. 

Students played a series of prepared etudes and musical excerpts for a panel of judges and competed for spots along with others from Community ISD, Melissa ISD, Princeton ISD, Plano ISD, Lovejoy ISD, Wylie ISD, Denison ISD, and Sherman ISD. 

Full state competition results for band, orchestra, and choir will be available in February 2024.
