Masterful Marksmen Musicians

Dozens of St. Mark’s musicians and choristers have earned recognition for their work through the Texas Private School Music Educators Association (TPSMEA) and Association of Texas Small School Bands (ATSSB).

 

“All of our students’ accomplishments are due to their diligent practice, dedication, and hard-earned talent," said Analisa Rodriguez, St. Mark’s Band Director. "I’m very proud of the disciplined musicians they are becoming and am proud to share in their accomplishments representing our school and band program.”

Throughout the winter, students traveled across the state, participating in concerts and clinics alongside other top student musicians. 

"We are incredibly proud of our Upper School Choristers who participated in the TPSMEA All-Region and All-State Choirs this year," said Glenn Stroh, Organist and Choirmaster. "Their hard work and dedication were truly inspiring, and it was a joy to witness how they supported one another throughout the audition process. The boys selected were excellent representatives of St. Mark’s.”

"Earning a seat in and participating in an All-State ensemble is a testament to the effort our boys have chosen to focus on," Orchestra Director Sarah Choi added. "It is another opportunity for them to exhibit the qualities of leadership we aim to instill in them in all their chosen pursuits."
