She received an honorable mention today, and you can watch her performance in the competition live-streamed on YouTube here.

Congratulations to our studio's IsabellaGrace on all her hard work throughout the TMEA audition process this fall! She auditioned for All-Region in early October, and advanced to record her audition for All-State a few weeks later! We learned this week that she ranked high enough in the auditions to be invited to perform with one of the bands at the TMEA All-State Clinic and Convention in San Antonio in February! I'm so proud of all IsabellaGrace's hard work, and can't wait to hear her performances at Region and State this year!
