After completing the Region 1 auditions Nov. 12, 24 band member will compete in the UIL Area A Competition Jan. 9 in Wichita Falls. 

Sixty-nine students from both the Canyon High School honor band and symphonic band participated in the All-Region audition process at Amarillo High. Forty-four Canyon band members earned a place in either the symphonic or concert All-Region Band, with an additional five Canyon band members placing as alternates.

First chair Baritone Saxophone in the All-Region Band, Nathan Armstrong, said he is thankful for the opportunity to participate in the All-Region Band tryouts.

“I was pretty nervous for the region audition since I haven’t been in an audition like this since junior high,” Armstrong said. “Then I placed first out of everyone, and that felt pretty good.”

Armstrong said he plans to continue his preparation for the coming UIL Area audition.

“The next step for me is to go to Area and see what I can do there,” Armstrong said. “Getting to be in this whole thing is just really fun for me. I’m very excited that I get to be in the All-Region Band.”
