Instrumental Music students from all over Middle Tennessee auditioned for Mid-State and All-State ensembles in November and December, 2022. They were required to perform an audition consisting of prepared music, scales, and sight-reading. Top performers from the auditions were selected for Mid-State and All-State Band, Orchestra, and Jazz Ensembles.
152 students from Rutherford County Schools earned spots in these elite music ensembles. They will perform with the ensembles during the Spring 2023 semester.
All RCS Mid-State students are listed below. Students with an asterisk (*) in front of their names earned first place overall in their instrument categories. Students selected for All-State are designated with an (All-State) after their names.
Congratulations to all of these wonderful young musicians!
