Terra Vista Middle School hosted the Middle School All-Region Auditions. For this competition students prepare challenging music and compete individually against other students from all over the region on similar instruments. They perform the musical selection for five judges and then the students are ranked in “chair order”. The top players are placed into two All-Region Bands.
In certain sections the top players also make it into the All-Region Orchestra. This year Terra Vista had 18 students qualify for the All-Region Band, along with 4 alternates! The results are as follows.
Honor Band (top band)
Azriel Burda – Flute, 9th chair
Katie Tucker – Oboe, 2nd chair (All-Region Orchestra)
