Thirty-eight Brownsville Independent School District students have made All State in music by being named to participate in three days of rehearsals directed by nationally recognized conductors at the Texas Music Educators Association clinic and convention in San Antonio.
In a process that begins with the start of school in the fall, more than 70,000 students from across Texas participate in a series of music auditions to be considered the best of the best, BISD Choral Music advisor Melody C. Eriksen said in a news release.
As a result, 38 BISD students will be among 1,830 students from schools across Texas who will perform in one of 18 ensembles sponsored by the band, orchestra, and vocal divisions at the TMEA convention.
All-State is the highest honor a Texas music student can achieve, Eriksen said.
The convention will culminate Saturday in concerts by the 18 state ensembles on the concert stage at San Antonio’s Henry B. González Convention Center as part of the 2024 TMEA clinic and convention.
Here are the 38 BISD student musicians and the band, orchestra and vocal ensembles in which they will perform:
