This past Saturday, January 21, 2022, 27 Junior High band students traveled to Pearsall to audition for the All-Region Band. The students competed against 15 other area schools for a place in one of two bands. Of the 27 students, 10 earned spots in either the Symphonic or Concert band.
Symphonic Band:
Nadia Daniels, 8th Grade – Flute
Annika Robles, 8th Grade – Clarinet
Auslyn Beazer 8th Grade – French Hor
Concert Band:
Brooke Tollett, 7th Grade – Flute
Mackenzie Schultz, 7th Grade – Clarinet
Adelie Eberle, 7th Grade – Bass Clarinet
Noah Smoote, 8th Grade – Alto Sax alt.
Cayleigh Smith, 7th Grade – Trombone alt.
Isaac Ytuarte, 7th Grade – Baritone
Taryn McDonald, 8th Grade – Percussion
These students will have the opportunity to perform in a live concert, Saturday, February 26, 2022, in Pleasanton. Last year’s All-Region band members were not able to hold a concert. This year we have the most 7th graders to make one of the bands in a single year and Taryn is the first Junior High percussionist to make a band. Mr. Chessher and I are enormously proud of their hard work.
