He made the All-Region choir AND the All-Region Band, placing 1st chair in flute for region III. This meant that he was duel certified to attend the TMEA Area audition. He had to choose between choir and band, and decided to attend the Area audition for choir. He placed in the top choir with only a little over 200 other students in the state. Only 4 students were taken in that choir for our Area, which includes everywhere from Allen and Plano to Tyler and Greenville. He placed 3rd chair!
