Yoakum, TX – January 2025 – The Yoakum Independent School District proudly announces that Luis Richardson has been named a member of the 2025 ATSSB All-State Band. Luis earned first place in the entire 3A Area tryouts on French Horn, securing his spot among Texas’s top high school musicians.
The competition was fierce, with over 10,000 high school band students from across Texas auditioning in twenty-two different regions for a place in their respective all-region bands. From these auditions, the top chairs advanced to one of the five area tryouts held this past weekend across the state. Only 286 students were ultimately selected for all-state honors.
Luis’s achievement is a testament to his hard work and dedication. He will join the other talented musicians in rehearsals for the ATSSB All-State Bands in San Antonio, Texas, from February 12-15, 2025. The culmination of their efforts will be showcased in a concert on Saturday, February 15, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. in the Lila Cockrell Theatre of the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center in downtown San Antonio…
