Six Mineola HS band students make all-state
Six members of the Mineola High School band have earned places in the all-state band for the Association of Texas Small School Bands.
Try outs were Saturday at Tyler Chapel Hill, and six of the seven band members trying out earned spots, a record for MHS.
Five of the six earned first chair on their respective instruments, and four of the six tried out against students from larger Class 4A schools (Mineola is 3A).
