Middle school band students from Denton ISD participated in the TMEA Region 2 Band auditions. This year, TMEA is requiring the students to submit audition recordings online instead of performing in person to mitigate the spread of COVID. All of the Region 2 audition recordings were judged November 7-8. Students that were selected to the Region 2 Band have the honor of being named as a member of the band. However, there is not a live clinic or performance scheduled for the band at this time due to the COVID pandemic.

27 Denton ISD middle school band students were selected to the TMEA Region 2 Band and three were named as alternates. Congratulations to these outstanding students. And many thanks to their directors, private lesson teachers, and parents for supporting them and helping them prepare for the audition.
