Students Named to TMEA All-State Ensemble
Nearly 100,000 Texas students start the selection process to perform at the TMEA All-State Ensemble with just over 1,700 students chosen to perform in one of 15 ensembles.
These students represent less than 1.8% of the students who begin the tryout process and approximately 0.2% of students enrolled in a high school music class.
The following students will begin rehearsals and final chair placement for some organizations in San Antonio on February 13 culminating with performances throughout the day of Saturday, February 16 to bring the annual TMEA convention to a close.
