Region Band Audition Information

Parents and Students,

Good morning!

Every year students have an opportunity to audition for the TMEA All-State Band or Orchestra. This is a competition to find the greatest student musicians in the state. The result is a concert put on by said students in February at the Texas Music Educators Association Convention. This is the highest honor an individual student musician can achieve in the state of Texas. This process begins at the Region level, continues to the Area level, and concludes at the state level.  I am proud to say that historically we have had students from Kempner High School participate and advance to All-State!
