STUDENT SUCCESS
Past and current participants of the Texas Low Brass Academy annual events have consistently been recognized at the regional, state, and national levels for their musical achievements and successes. Trombone, euphonium, and tuba students are consistent members of the TMEA Region, Area, and All-State bands and many have gone on to pursue music degrees at some of the top music programs in the United States.
