On Monday, December 6th, the Anna High School Band sent nearly 60 students to the ATSSB Region 24 All-Region Band auditions. Anna High School hosted the event.  There were approximately 400 students that auditioned for a spot in one of the two All-Region Bands, the Symphonic Band (1st band) and the Concert Band (2nd band).  Students who placed in a high enough chair in their section earned the opportunity to advance to the Area Band contest on January 8th.  This year we had six students earn 1st chair in the Region, and had a total of 29 students qualify for one of the All-Region Bands.  We’re so proud of all the students that auditioned.  Here are the names of those that qualified for one of the bands:
