The band programs at Frenship ISD are continuing to make tremendous strides as middle school and high school band members had a record year in their recent competitions. 

 

Frenship High School band members earned honors a number of honors for All-Region and Area Band placements. It was a record year for Frenship High Band students as they placed 87 young musicians in the All-Region Bands.

 

The All-region Bands will perform on Friday, December 13th, from 6-9 PM at the Frenship Performing Arts Center and invites the community to come hear their talent. There is no admission fee for the performance.

 

Terra Vista Middle School also had huge results ar their All-Region Band auditions.

 

With nearly 900 students from around the area auditioning for 200 spots in the All-Region Band, TVMS had 24 musicians qualify for All-Region Band and four students qualify for All-Region Orchestra. This is the most students to ever qualify from TVMS.

 

TVMS Band Director, Ro Sanchez, said the hours of hard work put in by his students is all worth it seeing these results.

 

"The All-Region Orchestra is the highest honor that a middle school musician can attain and represents the top two percent of all band students in the area," said Sanchez. "Having four students make that group is an incredible honor, and having a total of 24 students make the band is absolutely awesome. We are extremely proud of these students."
