All-City Results

We had a very successful evening at the AISD All-City auditions! The Boles Band had 25 students earn a spot in the All-City Band, which is the most of any junior high in AISD.

GREAT WORK, BULLDOGS!

Interesting Factoid #1: All five students that earned 2nd chair were mere points away from being 1st chair (in some cases only 1 or 2 points out of 350!). 

Interesting Factiod #2: ALL of the Symphonic Band Trumpets and Euphoniums made the All-City Band. That's pretty cool.

Everybody is a better musician as a result of preparing for this audition, and that is more important than individual chair placements. Auditions like this are good time to do some self reflection. Did you give your all to the process? If you can say that you worked your hardest and did the best you could with the time you were given, then you should count the audition as a success regardless of your chair. If not, what can you do differently the next time you have a long term project like this? How can you plan better and practice smarter?

Less than two weeks until All-Region. LET'S DO THIS THING.
