THE WOODLANDS, Texas - "Conroe ISD is fortunate to have had such a large representation of students participate in the TMEA State Convention. It is a reflection of the tremendous talent of our students nurtured though dedicated teachers and supported by parents who value a quality arts education," stated Pat Paris, Conroe ISD Fine Arts Coordinator.

Paris is referring to the twenty-one Conroe ISD students who performed as part of the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) All-State Music Group at the TMEA Convention in San Antonio February 11-14.

The selection process began with auditions hosted by twenty-eight TMEA Regions. Individual musicians performed selected music for a panel of judges who ranked each instrument or voice part. From this ranking, a select group of musicians advanced from their region to compete against musicians from other regions in seven TMEA Area competitions. The highest-ranking ? musicians judged at the TMEA Area competitions qualified to perform in a TMEA All-State music group. These All-State students participated in three days of rehearsals directed by nationally recognized conductors during the annual state TMEA Convention. Their performances before thousands of attendees brought this extraordinary event to a close. In addition to the All-State performers, the McCullough Junior High School Choir was selected through a blind audition to perform at the convention.
