TMEA Honor Band Competition

June 14, 2018 - Honor Band is the highest award a concert band can receive in the state of Texas.

The purpose of honor band is twofold. Many educators believe that through the process of hearing and observing the results of quality teaching, directors can develop their own instructional skills to a higher level. In addition, selection of an honor band in each classification recognizes communities and school systems that successfully support music in education through their instrumental music programs.

June 5, 2018 - The Outstanding Performance Series (OPS), sponsored by the Association of Texas Small School Bands (ATSSB), is a contest designed to select the most outstanding Class 1C, 2C/3C, 1A/2A, 3A, and 4A concert band programs in the state of Texas each year.
