Congratulations are in order to Logan Blondrage for being selected as the newest member of the Texas All-State Band. On Jan 13th in Plano, TX, he competed with 60 other oboes state wide for a spot in this ensemble and after two rounds, was selected to be 3rd chair in the 5A Texas All-State Symphonic Band. What makes this achievement all the more exciting is that he is also just a freshman, and is 1 of 5 freshman in the entire state to be selected. We are so excited for Logan, and how he has represented himself, our Fine Arts Dept. and Pine Tree ISD as a whole.
