Congratulations to the Lubbock ISD Texas All-State Musicians 2023!
Ten Lubbock ISD band and choir students recently earned all-state honors. Nine students earned recognition from the Texas Music Educators Association, (TMEA) and one student earned the honor from the Association of Texas Small School Bands (ATSSB). The all-state performing groups represent the highest possible level of musical recognition in band, choir and orchestra in the State of Texas. The impact on academic achievement among all-state musicians is exceptional. TMEA indicates Texas all-state musicians have consistently scored about 22 percent higher than the national average and about 25 percent higher than the Texas average when comparing SAT composite scores.
We applaud your dedication, skill, hours of practice and hard work. Thank you directors for encouraging, teaching and supporting these students!
