Luke is an All-State Musician! He placed 1st in Area (there are 7 in the state of Texas) for Trumpet and will be in the 4A Symphonic All-State Band. Luke will audition one more time to determine his chair placement in the Band. He is also auditioning at SMU and Sam Houston in February. Congratulate him and wish him the best with these wonderful opportunities! We are very proud of him!

(If you don’t know what All-State Band is, then read on…..)
All-State is the highest honor a Texas music student can receive. More than 1,500 musicians are selected from more than 55,000 who audition to perform in one of 13 ensembles (bands, orchestras and choirs). Beginning with auditions that are hosted by 28 TMEA Regions, individual musicians perform selected pieces for a panel of judges who rank the instrument or vocal part. Top ranking musicians then advance to compete in one of seven area contests for selection to the All-State Band or Music Group.
P.S. Both Luke and Kirk, his Freshman brother, are playing in the All-Region Band this Friday. My Dad is visiting from the frozen north to attend this concert on his birthday, January 25. We look forward to visiting with you all on Sunday and celebrating many blessings!
