The Wills Point Junior High Band enjoyed a stellar showing at the All-Region auditions, placing a combined 29 students on the All-Region Symphonic and Concert Bands.
The talent and depth of the Wills Point Tiger Band program has been on full display throughout the opening months of the 2016-'17 school year. In early November, the high school band made its seventh consecutive appearance at the UIL State Marching Contest, finishing fourth overall in the 4A classification. On Dec. 1, it was the junior high band program's chance to take their turn in the spotlight with All-Region Auditions taking place in Scurry-Rosser.
Under the direction of new JH Band Director Bobby McCoy, as well as fellow directors Nick Kornegay, Nathan Ascano and Andrew Wacaser, Wills Point topped the field by having 29 students place high enough in the competition to make the All-Region Band, and three other students placing high enough to make first alternate (often called up to the band by the first of the year).
