MPJH band students selected for All-Region Band

Fifteen Mount Pleasant Junior High School band students have qualified for the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) Region IV Middle School All-Region Band. Eleven students earned chairs in the Symphonic Band and four in the Concert Band. 

Four students earned 1st chair, essentially 1st place in their category, in the Symphonic Band: Shpat Zeqaj on Oboe, Luke Muskrat on Bassoon, Suhey Lopez on Alto Saxophone, and De’Andre Galloway on French Horn. It is the second year for Zeqaj to earn 1st chair honors in the Symphonic Band.

 “I am so proud of all the MPJH students who auditioned for the All-Region bands,” said MPJHS Band Director Karen Luckett. “We took 21 students to Sulphur Springs Middle School for the auditions. Out of those 21 students, 15 of them earned chairs in the All-Region bands, which is 71%! All of these students put in an extensive amount of time and effort to prepare for these auditions. We have been preparing for them since the second day of school. I congratulate all of these students on whether they made the All-Region bands or not.”

Students who qualified for the All-Region Bands include: 

Oboe Symphonic Band: Shpat Zeqaj, 1st chair

Bassoon Symphonic Band: Luke Muskrat, 1st chair

Bb Clarinet Symphonic Band: Andrew Perez, 2nd chair; Jose Fuentes, 5th chair

Bb Clarinet Concert Band: Christopher Sorto, 2nd chair; Jazlynn Juarez, 12th chair

Alto Saxophone Symphonic Band: Suhey Lopez, 1st chair

That includes those who made the High School All-Region Jazz Band and Freshman All-Region Band. It is on Saturday, December 14, at Paris Junior High School in Paris, Texas.
