(Flute), Senior Jack Ansell (Bass Trombone) and Junior Nicholas Lopez (Bb
Clarinet) qualified for their second All-State Band appearances. Senior Reed
White (Trumpet) and Freshman Caleb Neal (Alto Saxophone) qualified for their

All-State band clinic and concert with students from all over the state of
Texas.

Texas high school band students.
Less than 1 percent of all high school musicians in Texas accomplish this feat.
