What is Region Band?
The Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) is an organization that governs high school All-State competition and middle school All-Region Band competition. Through a vigorous audition, the best musicians are selected and assembled into two All-Star performing groups called the Region Band. Our district is so large it comprises of one entire portion of our region.
On a normal year, these select students are then given the opportunity to rehearse and perform advance literature with a well-known composer or band director recognized by the country. This year, TMEA is planning to transition the audition process online and the deadline for submissions is tentatively in October. Further details will be disclosed to us in the upcoming meeting later this month. The students in the All-Region Band represent some the best musicians of CCISD.

Sectionals
Sectionals are a separate one-hour rehearsal that happens once a week outside of the class day consisting of a smaller section, hence the name, “Sectionals.” Just like athletics with after-school or before-school practices, sectionals serve as a supplemental practice to help prepare students for specific events such as Region Band, Solo and Ensemble, and UIL Concert & Sight Reading. This smaller setting allows the teacher to better help students individually.
Fall sectionals focus on Region Band and spring semester sectionals focus on solos, ensembles, and contest music. Our goals is to have students receive Superior ratings at contests. Thank you students for your hard work and parents for continuously supporting your children.
