All-State Band & All-State Choir Recognized

All-State Band

Congratulations to 20 Cabot High School students for being selected for All-State Band! These amazing musicians were recently recognized in front of their directors and band family by Assistant Superintendent Michael Byrd.

About 1000 students from all 9 Regions of Arkansas competed for All-State in February.  This year, auditions were virtual video/audio auditions. 

Students who made the All-State bands also attended a virtual All-State. Members of the U.S. Army Band "Pershing's Own" joined them for an online meeting.  The members were former Arkansas All-State musicians. 

Students selected for All-State are pursued to attend colleges and universities to play in band. These students are offered a great amount of money even if they do not major in music.

Congratulations to our All-State Band members!

All-State Choir

Congratulations to our All-State Choir members! Assistant Superintendent Michael Byrd also had the opportunity to recognize these awesome students during class one morning.

Competition this year was all virtual. Students pre-recorded their auditions and judges listened to those recording to determine chair placement. The sight reading portion was done virtually as well.

Students were emailed the excerpt and could only do it once, and only had about 20 seconds to look at it before they had to record.

The top 50 in each section were named to the Arkansas All-State Choir, which is a huge honor.

We are very proud of our Cabot All-State Choir members!
