Congratulations to the 229 FISD middle school band students named to a TMEA All-Region band this fall!

More than 1,800 students from Region 24 auditioned for a seat in one of these prestigious bands, learning their music for months on the road to the competition. FISD students will join others from McKinney, Prosper and Little Elm in All-Region performances Dec. 13 at Reedy High School.

Each year, the Texas Music Educators Association competition and concerts recognize exceptional musicianship among middle school band students. This fall, middle school band students also auditioned for the second annual Middle School District Band, with 247 earning a seat in the District Band.

Thousands of band students across the District have the chance to audition for these ensembles as part of the student opportunity model and expanded access to fine arts opportunities.

Congratulations to these students and their directors!
