On Thursday, July 25th, 2024, The CTJ Wind Ensemble under the direction of Robert Lozano placed 5th in the 6A TMEA Honor Band Contest. The wind ensemble worked extremely hard to prepare three pieces beginning in January of 2024, which culminated in a series of recording concerts in May. Three of these recordings were submitted to TMEA Region 12. In June, the Wind Ensemble’s recordings placed first at Area and then advanced to the State Semifinals, which were held at Johnson High School on July 24th. Those recordings then advanced to the finals round at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, and placed among the top wind ensembles in the state.
Other state finalists included Dawson HS (first place), Coppell HS, Flower Mound HS, College Park HS, Waxahachie HS, Lake Travis HS, Marcus HS, The Woodlands HS, and Shadow Creek HS. This is the fifth time that Johnson High School has entered into the final round of the prestigious contest. The CT Johnson Wind Ensemble congratulates the Dawson High School Wind Ensemble on becoming the 6A TMEA Honor Band for 2025, which will perform at the TMEA convention in Lila Cockerell Theater in February.
