Band students from Denton ISD's four comprehensive high schools participated in competitive auditions among districts in Region 2, including Argyle, Lake Dallas, Lewisville, and Northwest ISDs. 63 DISD students were selected to the TMEA Region 2 Bands and 19 of those students have advanced to Area C where they will audition for a position in the TMEA All-State Bands.

Congratulations to these outstanding students for earning a position in the prestigious TMEA Region 2 Bands. They will perform on the All-Region Band Concert on Friday night, January 17 at the Guyer HS Auditorium. Many thanks to their outstanding band directors and private lesson teachers for helping them prepare for the auditions. Best wishes to the students auditioning for the All-State Band in the next round.
