What are All District & All Region Bands?

All District and All Region Bands are prestigious bands that are comprised of students selected from a wide range of schools by an audition that the students will begin preparing for on Wednesday, August 17th. The audition process involves scales and techniques, a technical piece of music, a lyrical piece of music, and a short sight reading excerpt played for a judge to earn a spot in the All District or All Region Band.  

The All District Band is compiled of Denton ISD middle school band students that have been working and preparing the same music as one another to audition and earn a place in this prestigious group. The All District Auditions take place on Saturday, October 14th at McMath Middle School.

The All Region Band is compiled of multiple districts in the area including  Denton, Lewisville, Argyle, Lake Dallas, and Northwest ISDs. The All Region band includes more students over all auditioning, which makes it more challenging to earn a position in this ensemble. All Region Auditions take place on Wednesday, October 25th at Hedrick MS in Lewisville (instruments  auditioning: oboe, bassoon, bass clarinet, alto sax, tenor sax, bari sax, euphonium, tuba, percussion phase 1) and Saturday, October 28th at Huffines MS in Lewisville (instruments auditioning: flute, clarinet, trumpet, horn, trombone, percussion phase 2). 

Students that earn a position in these prestigious groups have the opportunity to perform as a part of these groups in a concert with other students that match their advanced caliber. (All District Band Concert is Friday, January 19th & All Region Band Concert is Saturday, December 9th).
