PHARR, Texas – Fourteen Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School District (PSJA ISD) high school musicians competed at the Texas Music Educator Association (TMEA) Area Choir and Band Auditions on January 11, 2025, and were named All-State Musicians.
Beginning each fall, over 70,000 high school students across the state audition in their TMEA Region. Individual musicians perform selected music for a panel of judges who rank each instrument or voice part. A select group of musicians advances to compete against musicians from other Regions in their TMEA Area.
All-State is the highest honor a Texas music student can achieve. Directed by nationally recognized conductors, All-State students participate in four days of rehearsals during the TMEA Clinic and perform on the closing day of the TMEA Convention held annually in February.
