On Saturday, Sept. 17, a group of jazz students from the TCHS Band auditioned for the Region 30 Jazz Bands. There are 38 Jazz Region spots, and Timber Creek took seven of them. Timber Creek makes up 19% of the two bands, the most students in all of Keller ISD. The following students have earned a spot in the region jazz bands:
Alto Saxophone: Ana Luiza de Oliveira
Tenor Saxophone: Reese Hyatt
Baritone Saxophone: John Pence
Tenor Trombone: Noah Gresh
Trumpet: Tanner Price
Trumpet: Brendan Chucci
Guitar: Andy Brooks
Three of these students have advanced to Area where they will send in a recording to be considered for the All-State Jazz Band. The Area students are:
Tenor Saxophone: Reese Hyatt
Trumpet: Tanner Price
Guitar: Andy Brooks
“My goal was to make the Region band, so the fact that I made Area and get a chance to make the State band is really awesome,” said sophomore Reese Hyatt.
The jazz clinic is Monday, Nov. 14, followed by the concert on Tuesday, Nov. 15, at Aledo High school.
