All Staters make Round Rock ISD 6th in State!

Forty-six Round Rock ISD students earned a spot in a Texas Music Educators ensemble.  Round Rock ISD ranked sixth in the state with the number of students earning this prestigious honor. Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) sponsors the Texas All-State audition process to promote students’ dedication to their musical knowledge and skills and to encourage TMEA member directors to support their students in this development. Beginning each fall, over 70,000 high school students across the state audition in their TMEA Region. Individual musicians perform selected music for a panel of judges who rank each instrument or voice part. A select group of musicians advances to compete against musicians from other Regions in their TMEA Area. The highest-ranking musicians judged at the TMEA Area competitions qualify to perform in one of 15 Texas All-State Bands, Orchestras, and Choirs. These All-State ensembles rehearse for three days, directed by nationally recognized conductors, and perform on the closing day, this year February 15th, of the annual TMEA Clinic/Convention in San Antonio, Texas.
