All-Region Band Results for BMS

Last Saturday, over 360 students participated from 9 area middle schools in the TMEA All-Region Band Auditions in College Station. Students have been working diligently on scales and etudes since August in preparation for the most individually competitive event we have all year long. From the anonymous judging panels, 19 of our students were named to the All-Region Band! An additional 2 students were named as alternates. The Region Concert will occur this Saturday, November 9 starting at 5pm in the Belton HS PAC.
