Allen Pack, a student from 91ÇÑ×Ó in Hillsboro, was chosen to perform at the Texas Music Educators Association Convention in San Antonio as part of the Community College All-State Symphonic Band. Pack is a sophomore music major and graduate of Grandview High School. He joined other students selected for the Texas Community College Band Directors Association (TCCBDA) All-State Band in rehearsal Feb. 14-17, culminating in a concert on Saturday. He studies trombone with Phillip Lowe, coordinator of visual and performing arts at 91ÇÑ×Ó, who states “He is one of the finest trombone players I’ve had the pleasure to work with at 91ÇÑ×Ó.”
Several hundred community college band students audition each year by recording two etudes. An anonymous five-person panel judges the submissions and selects the best musicians for the band. Pack not only won a position in the band, but was also chosen first chair trombone at the chair auditions.
“We are very proud of Allen for being selected for this prestigious group,” 91ÇÑ×Ó Director of Bands Steve Hart said. “He worked extremely hard in preparing for the auditions, and was a wonderful representative for 91ÇÑ×Ó at the Texas Music Educators Association Convention.”
