Tarleton’s Wind Ensemble has been invited to perform at the annual Texas Music Educators in San Antonio.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 Tarleton State University\u2019s Wind Ensemble has scheduled a three-stop tour culminating with a concert at the Texas Music Educators Association convention in San Antonio at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wind Ensemble, directed by Dr. David Robinson, will play the 2,300-seat Lila Cockrell Theatre to an anticipated full house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The invitation comes after the Wind Ensemble, for the first time, was chosen through a blind audition in 2020. The convention went virtual last year, deferring Tarleton\u2019s opportunity to perform to this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only three or four university concert bands are chosen to play at the TMEA convention. Those that are selected may not perform again for four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The convention, Feb. 9-12 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, welcomes more than 30,000 attendees annually, including music educators, college and high school music students, all-state musicians, and parents and participants of invited ensembles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The convention offers concerts, professional development clinics, vendor exhibits, university alumni reunions, a College Night fair, and rehearsals and performances by the Texas All-State bands, choirs and orchestras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tarleton tour kicks off with a free preview concert at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 6, at the Clyde H. Wells Fine Arts Center Auditorium in Stephenville and includes stops at Weatherford, Granbury and Belton high schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tour selections feature \u201cSilver Fanfare\u201d by Peter Boyer, \u201cPopcopy\u201d by Scott McAllister, Aleksandra Pakhmutova\u2019s \u201cTrumpet Concerto\u201d and \u201cSensus Vitae\u201d <\/em>by Nathan Daughtrey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
