Montgomery ISD is excited to announce fifteen students have been named All-State musicians for the 2023-24 school year. Each fall, over 70,000 high school students across the state audition in their TMEA Region. Individuals perform selected music for a panel of judges who rank each instrument or voice part. A select group advances to compete against musicians from other Regions in their TMEA Area. The highest-ranking musicians judged at the TMEA Area competitions qualify to perform in All-State ensembles.
