Recently, members of the Lake Belton Middle School Band competed in the TMEA All-Region Auditions. This was done in a virtual format with students recording 3 scales and 2 musical studies they have been preparing since July for the competition. These were then judged anonymously and each student was ranked along with all other band students from all of the middle schools in Belton, Bryan, and College Station.
LBMS entered 38 students and placed 28 in the Region Band! The contest took almost 50% of the entries for Region placement. LBMS placed 74% of our entered students; way over the average! LBMS placed the highest number of students at the contest; against stiff competition from really good band programs.
That is a huge accomplishment!
