Nine Highland Park band, orchestra, and choir students have been named all-state musicians, the highest honor a Texas music student can receive.
About 2% of high school musicians earn all-state honors. The top students were chosen through an audition process that began this fall with more than 70,000 high schoolers from around the state. Only about 1,800 of the highest-ranking musicians were named to Texas Music Educators Association ensembles sponsored by the band, orchestra, or vocal divisions.
The all-state musicians from the Highlander Band were Sam Stobaugh, Carson Critcher, and Ryaan Khan.
Singing Scots selected for the all-state choirs were Caroline Davidson, Jaron Pierce, Raj Luthra, and Luka Anderson.
Orchestra all-state students were Alec Fang and Raymond Wu.
