Congratulations to the four Frisco ISD ensembles whose excellence has been recognized by the Texas Music Educators Association! Each year, the state group selects honor bands, orchestras and choirs in each classification after a rigorous audition process, recognizing communities and school systems that successfully supported music in education through their instrumental music programs. For 2027, three FISD bands and one orchestra advanced to the state level, highlighting the truly amazing talent and hard work being dedicated to these fine arts programs. Below are the recognized groups, as well as their directors. Bravo!
