Good evening GEB parents and students,<\/p>\n
I wanted to share some wonderful news with you. Of the students who advanced and auditioned at Area this past Saturday, three students have made the Texas 6A All-State Band! This is the highest honor that a student can achieve in music at the high school level. Less than 1% of students involved in band, orchestra or choir have a chance to be a part of this experience. Last time the Richardson GEB had an all-state student was 2011, and this year we have 3!!! They will be traveling to the Texas Music Educators Association Convention for the clinic and concert from February 10-13. Below are the names of the students; please see attached picture.<\/p>\n
Nicholas Crothers – Trumpet (11th)
\nAlex Leo – Trumpet (10th)
\nJonah Harmon – Percussion (12th)<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Aissa Torres placed 1st Alternate (Alto Saxophone) and Austin Townsend placed 2nd Alternate (Tenor Saxophone)!<\/p>\n
With that being said, the band directors and private lesson staff are very proud of all of the students’ work towards the all-region process and success. It truly does help the students become better players and performers! This year, we have now had the most 9th grade All-Region students, High School All-Region students, Jazz All-Region Students, Area Students and All-State students since I first arrived at RHS 5 years ago! Below is how the students did in comparison to the other 22 schools in the region:<\/p>\n
9th Grade All-Region – 14 and 4 alternates (3rd in region 3)
\nHigh School All-Region – 26 (4th in region 3)
\nJazz All-Region – 3 (T-3rd in region 3)
\nArea – 9 (T-2nd in region 3)
\nState – 3 and 2 alternates (1st in region 3!!!)<\/p>\n
It’s a great day to be a part of the Golden Eagle Band! Thank you parents for your support!<\/p>\n
