Posted Date: 11/20/2024

Recently, the band students from Paris Junior High School traveled to Pine Tree High School, where they auditioned for the prestigious Middle School/Junior High All-Region Band. This annual event draws students from seven different schools, all eager to showcase their musical talents. The audition process is both challenging and rewarding. Students are required to perform a series of pieces that test their technical skills, musicality, and overall performance abilities. These students will participate in the TMEA Region IV All-Region Clinic and Concert on December 14th at Paris Junior High School. The clinic provides an invaluable learning experience, where students can refine their skills under the guidance of experienced conductors and educators.
