Contests

There are several contests in which our students will be participating.

Band members, grades 7 and 8, may participate in the Middle School All-Region Honor Band competition.

Students that make All-Region Honor Band then participate in the All-Region Honor Band Clinic and Concert.

High School students, grades 9-12, may participate in the All-State Honor Band competitions. These Clinics and Concerts are held every year in January.

If your son or daughter wishes to try out, these materials should be available at the music stores listed in this website, or I can order them. All Honor groups participate through Texas Private School Music Educator’s Association (TPSMEA). You may access band tryout music and dates at www.tpsmea.org.

During the Spring Semester, Band members may participate in Solo and Ensemble Contest.

Also in the Spring, Band members and Elementary students may participate at the Sandy Lake Contest. Participation of our groups may be dependent on the number of eligible students.

VERY IMPORTANT!!!! Students must be passing ALL core subjects in order to participate in any of the competitions. These subjects include Math, Language Arts, Science, and Social Sciences. Also included are Computer, Foreign Language, and other electives which would include the music or band class.

Courses such as Sign Language, Handwriting, will not apply unless taken as electives under any above category for a grade.

All regular school work must be up-to-date by the student in order to be eligible for any competition.
