Teachers & Parents: These links should give you everything you need to know for All-Region/All-Area/All-State activities.
The schools in our neck of the woods participate in ATSSB, the Association of Texas Small School Bands (not TMEA). ATSSB has a separate All-Region/All-Area/All-State track from TMEA, and this is what our schools participate in. In Bonham and surrounding areas, we are in Region 24.
Please let us know if this information is unclear, or if a link goes inactive, so we can keep this page up-to-date!

Middle School Audition List (2025-2026)
Region 24 has its own list for Middle School All-Region band auditions. The études are not publicly listed; the Region 24 directors shared it with me just so I could share it with you teachers, but it is not for public consumption. For that reason, please do not share this page unless you get permission from me. We want to honor their trust.

Bonham is in Region 25, but Regions 24 & 25 are combined, and named by the lower number.
Homeschool Students
Homeschool students are absolutely eligible to participate! Either their homeschool band director or a parent needs to join the organization, just like the other band directors, and then you can go from there.
Jazz Band
They’ve got Jazz Band, too! Those auditions are way in the beginning of the year, so get on that early.
