Five Mount Pleasant Junior High School band students and one Wallace Middle School band student have qualified for the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) Region IV Middle School All-Region Band. Three students earned chairs in the Symphonic Band and three in the Concert Band.<\/p>\n
Two students earned 1st chair, essentially 1st place in their category, in the Symphonic Band: Kaylee Ramos on Bass Clarinet and Adriel Bagsic, a 6th grader at Wallace, on Trumpet with Anthony Cabrera earning 1st chair on Euphonium in the Concert Band.<\/p>\n
“I am so proud of all the MPJH students who auditioned for the All-Region Bands,\u201d said MPJHS Band Director, Karen Luckett. \u201cDue to COVID-19, students had to record their audition and submit it to an online music platform. Twenty-one students submitted audition recordings. Out of those 21 students, six of them earned chairs in the All-Region Bands. All of these students put in an extensive amount of time and effort to prepare for these auditions. I congratulate all of these students whether they made the All-Region bands or not.”<\/p>\n
Students who qualified for the All-Region Bands include:<\/p>\n
Symphonic Band: Kaylee Ramos, 1st chair Bass Clarinet; Adriel Bagsic, 1st chair Trumpet; Christopher Sorto, 7th chair Bb Clarinet
\nConcert Band: Anthony Cabrera, 1st chair Euphonium; Amir Martinez, 2nd chair Tuba; Alondra Ruiz, 10th chair Bb Clarinet<\/p>\n
