From this ranking, a select group of musicians advances from their Region to TMEA Area competitions. The highest ranking musicians are selected to perform in one of the TMEA All-State music groups. These All-State students participate in three days of rehearsals during the annual TMEA Clinic/Convention in San Antonio. The All-State Ensembles perform before thousands of attendees at concerts, which closes the yearly event..
