On October 23 and 25, middle school band students from Denton ISD auditioned for the TMEA All-Region Middle School Bands among students from other districts in Region 2 including Argyle, Lake Dallas, Lewisville, and Northwest ISDs. 28 DISD students were selected to the All-Region Middle School Bands. 7th graders also had the option to audition for the Region 2 7th Grade Select Band on November 7. 60 Denton ISD 7th grade band students made the 7th Grade Select Band.

 

Congratulations to these outstanding middle school band students. The All-Region students will be performing in concert with the TMEA Region 2 Middle School Bands on December 14 at Flower Mound HS Auditorium. The concert is free to attend.
