Honored band members
Three students at Boerne and Champion high schools have been named to the 2022 All-State Band. Boerne’s Savanna Strause (saxophone) and Connor West (trombone) were selected to the Association of Texas Small School Bands (ATSSB) All-State squad while Champion’s Ethan Ratliff (right) earned a spot on the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) All-State Band. This is the second year in a row that Ratliff has been named All-State. Becoming an allstate band member is one of the highest achievements an individual band student can earn, and less than 0.5 percent of all participants can earn the honor. 01/18/2022 12:00 AM
