Seven talented musicians across Alvin ISD were selected as 2020 Texas All-State members through the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA). This is the highest honor a Texas music student can receive and earns these students a spot to perform in one of 15 ensembles throughout the band, choir and orchestra divisions.
The process began with more than 70,000 high school students across the state competing and advancing through multiple rounds of competition over the last 3 to 4 months. The TMEA All-State Bands and Choirs make up the top 2% of all music students in the entire State. The All-State students will now practice together over three days of rehearsals, directed by nationally recognized conductors. They will then perform before more than 30,000 people during the annual TMEA Clinic/Convention in San Antonio on February 15, 2020.
