Two Industrial band students performed in the 3A Association of Texas Small School Bands last week in San Antonio at the Lila Cockrell Theatre in the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center. They met in rehearsals, participated in auditions and performed on Saturday night after only a few days practice.
More than 10,000 high school students auditioned for spots in All-Region bands in 22 regions. In the end, only 286 students were selected for All-State honors.
Both, senior Christopher Garza playing the euphonium and freshman Trevor Ledbetter playing trombone finished first at Area. At state, Ledbetter earned first chair in the concert band out of 10, while Garza earned fifth chair out of eight.
