Summary: Aaron Indolos, a member of the North Crowley High School Band, will perform with the Texas All-State Jazz Ensemble in San Antonio, Saturday, Feb. 12 as part of the 2022 Texas Music Educators Association Clinic/Convention.

Aaron was chosen for this prestigious honor through a competitive process held this year across the state at District, Region, and Area levels. Competing against jazz bass trombone players from all across the state, he placed 3rd overall. Aaron is a student of Logan Davis and plays at school under the direction of Christopher Sample who is a member of the Texas Music Educators Association, a 14,000+ member organization headquartered in Austin.

This is Aaron’s first time to perform as a member of a TMEA All-State organization. He is the son of Martin and Rosalyn Indolos.

High school students selected to perform in the All-State concerts have competed through auditions to qualify at the state level. All-State is the highest honor a Texas music student can receive. 1,875 students are selected through a process that began with over 70,000 students from around the state vying for this honor to perform in one of 18 ensembles. Texas Music Educators Association sponsors the Texas All-State competition. This competitive process begins throughout the state in auditions hosted by 33 TMEA Regions. Individual musicians perform selected music for a panel of judges who rank each instrument or voice part. From this ranking, a select group of musicians advances from their Region to compete against musicians from other areas in eight TMEA Area competitions. The highest-ranking musicians judged at the TMEA Area competitions qualify to perform in a TMEA All-State music group. Only the top 2.6% of musicians who initially audition become All-State musicians.
