Region Band Results!
Congratulations
I want to take a moment to congratulate all of our Region Band students. We took 41 students to Quinlan on Friday to compete in the ATSSB Region Tryouts, and Mabank Junior High had 7 students make the region band!
Eli Nutt -Bassoon (8)
Anthony Caine-Trumpet (7)
Stephen Garrett-Trumpet (8)
David Garcia-Trumpet (7)
Rianne McDonald-Trumpet (7)
Maddox Lemons-Horn (8)
Malisa Lim-Tuba (7)
To put this in perspective, last year we had around 20 students go to the audition and 3 made the band, and the year before we didn’t have any students make the all region band. So to go from zero to seven in two years is an awesome improvement made by your Mabank students.
This is just one of the events we have that shows how hard all our band students have been working, and I want to thank you for your support as a Mabank Band Parent. It’s not always an easy job, and we truly appreciate everything you do.
