Twenty-seven middle school band students from Allen ISD earned placement in the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) Region 25 All-Region Band following auditions held in November.
Students from across Region 25, including Denison ISD, Lovejoy ISD, Melissa ISD, Plano ISD, Princeton ISD, Sherman ISD, and Wylie ISD, competed in two rounds of auditions. Each student performed prepared etudes before a panel of judges.
Out of approximately 1,117 students who began the audition process, only 353 were selected for All-Region bands. Allen ISD is represented by students from Curtis, Ereckson, and Ford Middle Schools.
These students rehearsed with a guest conductor and clinician before performing in a concert on December 5 at the Plano ISD Robinson Fine Arts Center.
