The Ranchview High School Band is pleased to announce the selection of four students to the 2012 Texas All-State Band.
The following Ranchview High School Band students earned positions in the Texas All-State Band:

Min Kang, 10th grade, Alto Saxophone (1st chair)

More than 9,000 high school band students from across Texas auditioned in 20 different regions for a place in all-region bands. The top chairs in each region band advanced to one of the five area auditions held on January 7, 2012. Only 240 students from across Texas were selected to the All-State Band.
The Texas All-State Bands will meet in rehearsal in San Antonio, from February 8-11 and will present a concert beginning at 9:30 p.m. on Sat., February 11, in the Lila Cockrell Theatre of the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center in downtown San Antonio.
The Ranchview Band had the highest success rate at the Area Competition as compared to all of the other schools competing. Additionally, three other students performed at Area Auditions:
Francis Cooper, 9th grade, Contra-Clarinet (1st Alternate to State)
Arthur Tate, 11th grade, French Horn (10th overall)
Kazuomi Motoike, 10th grade, Percussion (2nd Alternate to State)
This marks the eighth consecutive year that the Ranchview Band has placed multiple students in the Texas All-State Band.
