McKinney North High School had a total of 29 band students selected to the TMEA Region 25 All-Region Band and 16 of those students selected also advanced to TMEA Area C competition.
“Students who participate in the All-Region band tryout process must prepare three pieces of music that are very difficult and perform them in front of three judges,” said Roy Renzenbrink, Director of Fine Arts for McKinney ISD. “By preparing and going through the process they cannot help but become better musicians. We are very proud of every student who tried out. We are extremely proud to have so many musicians selected to be part of the Region 25 All-Region Band. Region 25 is full of very talented high school musicians. It is a tribute to their hard work and the excellent teaching of their fine band directors. Their concert will be magnificent.
