One of the best ways West TN has to recognize the BEST OF THE BEST individual musicians is the All-West TN Honor Band Clinic which is held in Memphis in mid-February. The All-West audition music is now available! Students have between now and January 17 to work this music up before they audition in Jackson. Students who audition (make it or not) will receive lettering credit. Mr. Tate STRONGLY ENCOURAGES each student to consider auditioning.
