Three musical ensembles represented Leander ISD Feb. 10 at the 2023 Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) Convention in San Antonio: the Vista Ridge High School percussion ensemble, the Vandegrift High School Chorale Tenor Bass Choir and the Wiley Middle School Wind Ensemble.

In July 2022, the Wiley MS Wind Ensemble, under the direction of Taylor Williamson, was named the 2022 2C Honor Band, a distinction given by TMEA to the top CC Concert Ensemble in Texas after competing in the region, area and state-level rounds. Williamson accepted this award after the band’s performance on Friday.

The Vista Ridge Percussion Ensemble, under the direction of Hector Gil, and the Vandegrift High School Chorale Tenor Bass Choir, under the direction of Michael Zook, were selected as “Invited Performers” through a submitted recording process.
