Alvarado High School choir and band students earning All-State honors is becoming as much of a sure thing as Texas having insufferable heat in July and August.

Alvarado High School’s band dominated the All-Region competition last week with 23 students earning All-Region honors and 12 earning All-Area honors.

Alvarado High School junior Diana Velazquez competed in the second round of All-State auditions recently and advanced to the third and final round in January.
