Marksmen Musicians Earn State Honors

Students across multiple grade levels earned prestigious regional and state music honors this season, with selections to ATSSB (Association of Texas Small School Bands) and TPSMEA (Texas Private School Music Educators Association) All-Region and All-State Jazz and Concert Bands, as well as regional and state orchestras. Middle and Upper School instrumentalists were also recognized through North Region and TPSMEA honor ensembles following all-day clinics and performances. Vocal music students achieved outstanding results, with the vast majority earning placement in TPSMEA All-Region Choir and more than half advancing to All-State Choir, culminating in performances at the Eisemann Center for the Performing Arts. These accomplishments reflect the strength and depth of the School’s orchestra, band, and choral programs.
