The Brazosport High School Exporter Jazz Band recently earned top honors at two music festivals held in the Houston area.
On April 24, the band competed in the Bayou Classic Music Festival at Clear Lake High School, where they received a First Division Trophy and Outstanding Performance honors. Students also earned 10 Outstanding Soloist medals.
The following day, the Exporter Jazz Band competed in the Klein Forest Jazz Festival at Fallbrook Church in Houston and received First Division ratings from all three judges. In addition to the group honors, Juliette Trevino and Elias Rios were named All-Star Soloists. Rios also earned the title of Outstanding Trombonist of the Festival.
“These students continue to raise the standard through their dedication, musicianship, and teamwork,” said director Dennis Boucher. “To see them earn recognition at back-to-back festivals against outstanding programs from across the region is something they should be very proud of.”
Brazosport ISD congratulates the Exporter Jazz Band on their outstanding accomplishments and continued success representing the district through fine arts excellence.
