On October 18-19, high school choral students representing Denton ISD performed in phase 2 of the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) Region 2 high school choir auditions, competing with students from all across Region 2. A total of 34 DISD students were selected to the All-Region High School Choir. The selected students will perform at the Region 2 High School Choir Concert on Saturday, November 6 at Denton High School. 20 of these students have advanced to the Pre-Area auditions for a chance to advance to the All-State auditions.

Congratulations to these outstanding students for earning a position in the All-Region Choirs. Many thanks to their awesome choir directors and private lesson teachers for helping them prepare for the auditions. Best wishes to the students advancing to Pre-Area!
