Please join us in congratulating the following students on their success this audition season.  Every section of the band is represented with the exception of two.  It is also the highest number of students to make the District and Region bands in the history of Clear Springs High School.

We are extremely proud of these students and very happy to see them recognized for their dedication and hard work on such a competitively difficult endeavor.  TMEA Region 17 has earned a reputation across the state as having some of the most talented musicians in Texas.  These 26 students represent the top 15-20% of those who auditioned in their respective sections in the region.  Kunqian Li now advances to the Area audition in January for the chance to join the top 1% of musicians in the Texas All-State Band.

Those students who earned Area and Region honors will perform a concert on Saturday, January 17, at Manvel High School (more details on the band calendar).  Students with District or 9th Grade Region honors do not perform a concert.  District patches may be picked up in the band office from Mr. Brown.  Region patches will be handed out at the January concert and Area patches will be handed out at the audition in January.
