Congrats to our All-Region Band Students!
Congratulations to the following McMillen Band Students who auditioned and earned placement in the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) All-Region Bands online. These students competed against hundreds of 9th thru 12th grade students from across Plano, Allen, Wylie, and Lovejoy.
REGION WIND ENSEMBLE
Victoria Hartman* – 10th grade, 1st chair English Horn
Solomon Makonnen* – 10th grade, 1st chair Contrabass Clarinet
*Victoria & Solomon have also qualified for All-Area, which is the audition before All-State Band.
REGION SYMPHONIC BAND
Carter Bellegante, 10th grade, 4th chair French Horn
Though there will not be any region bands performing this year, these students and many others have still put in a tremendous effort to advance their music skills. The directors are very proud of their hard work.
Congrats, again, to these outstanding young musicians!
Maria Gonzalez Wins Educator Grant!
