MacArthur Musicians Make All-Region Jazz Band
Four band students from MacArthur High School were chosen to be part of this year’s 2016-2017 Region 20 All-Region Jazz Band. Students from Region 20 schools competed last Saturday for the honor of being selected as members of this prestigious group. Musicians were asked to perform 3 jazz etudes and improvisation and chosen based on their performance and evaluations from five visiting adjudicators. Irving ISD will be represented by:
- Edward Parker Leon, 12th grade: 2nd Chair Tenor Trombone, Band 1
- Emma Hillman, 12th grade: Piano, Band 2
- David Olguin, 10th grade: 3rd Chair Tenor Trombone, Band 2
- Jacob Worrall, 11th grade: Bari Sax, Band 2
As members of the All-Region Jazz Band, these students will participate in a clinic, followed by a concert performance with area jazz professionals and ensemble of peers from across the metroplex in December.
