Nov 3, 2020

Congratulations to the following 38 Cain Middle School Band students who successfully auditioned and made the Rockwall ISD All-District Honor Band.

All-District Honor Band Members 2020-2021

In October, 150 students from all three Rockwall ISD middle schools auditioned and competed for only a handful of spots in the elite ensemble. Students were required to play two major scales, their full chromatic scale, and two prepared etudes. Percussion students played two etudes on snare and mallets.

This year, Cain had 38 students make the All-District band. This is the largest number of students in Cain’s school history and the largest number of students from all three campuses.

Additionally, 11 Cain students earned the highest score in their instrument group and were awarded first chair. This is the largest number of first chair students in Cain school history and is the most of all three middle schools.
