This year 37 Trail Blazers placed in the TMEA Region 24 All-Region Band.

All Region music was released earlier this school year, and band members across the district have been preparing. The competition involves three etudes that vary by instrument, and each instrumentalist plays a cut at competition.

There are two different auditions. Freshmen can audition for the 9th Grade Band, or they can play up and audition for full All Region. Full All Region is for Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, who are ineligible to audition for the 9th Grade Band.

Freshmen auditions were held at Clark High School on November 28th. From Lebanon Trail, 12 students made the band.

Full All Region is has two phases, held on separate days. Phase One has everyone, and only some students go on to Phase Two. Phase Two determines who makes the bands. There are three bands; Wind Ensemble, Symphonic, and Concert. This year 25 Lebanon Trail students made one of the three bands.

Also, congratulations to Spencer Singer for making the TMEA All-State Jazz Band for guitar.
