49 HS Band Students Named TMEA All-Region

High 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. 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. The top ranking students have qualified to audition at the Area level for a chance at making the TMEA All-State Band.

49 Denton ISD high school band students were selected to the TMEA Region 2 5A and 6A Bands and 16 have advanced to Area auditions. Congratulations to these outstanding students and best wishes to those auditioning for All-State. Many thanks to their directors, private lesson teachers, and parents for supporting them and helping them prepare for the audition.
