So Far, 165 Denton ISD Students Named All-Region Musicians
Band, Choir, and Orchestra students in Denton ISD have been performing in auditions for the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) Region 2 bands, choirs, and orchestras. Denton ISD competes in TMEA Region 2 with students from Argyle ISD, Lake Dallas ISD, Lewisville ISD, and Northwest ISD. High school students also have the opportunity to advance to Area and State level auditions in pursuit of a position in a Texas All-State group. High school band students have not yet auditioned for All-Region but so far 165 DISD students have earned positions in Region 2 bands, choirs, and orchestras. We are extremely proud of these outstanding students. Click the links below to see the lists of students who have made All-Region. Many thanks to their awesome directors and private lesson teachers for helping them prepare for the auditions. Congratulations!
Best wishes to the high school choir and orchestra students that have advanced to the next round. And best wishes to the high school band students auditioning November 18, December 2, and December 4.

Denton ISD Students Create Artwork for State TASA/TASB Conference
Braswell Zone Orchestras Present a Salute to Veterans, Nov 11
Denton ISD is in need of bus drivers for special events, such as Fine Arts events and field trips. Denton ISD has created a new job description titled, “Bus Driver-Special Events”. This type of driver will be paid $18-$20 per hour to drive groups to field trips, contests, and after school/weekend events. This is an excellent, flexible part-time job and a way to serve students in Denton ISD. We encourage Denton ISD volunteers and PTA members to consider applying for this as an option to serve the students and programs in Denton ISD, and also to gain some extra income! Visit the link below to view the job posting in Applitrack and please share it with anyone who would be interested.
Candidates need to earn their CDL, which can be done locally. The Denton ISD Transportation Department can provide information on how to achieve the requirements in order to qualify as a driver. Once hired as a Bus Driver-Special Events, they could drive groups to field trips, contests, and events, getting students and their teachers/chaperones to their destination safely and on time. This important work makes Fine Arts contests and events possible and contributes greatly to the educational experience of our students. Please share the Applitrack link above with anyone who would be interested in this opportunity.
