Charger Band Members
Break 1st Chair Record at
All-Region Orchestra
In a historic win for our Mighty Charger Band, these phenomenal students achieved a record-setting 6 First Chairs at the Texas Music Educators Association Region 28 Orchestra Audition. The available wind and percussion chairs are quite limited as the orchestra is primarily composed of string players. Having our Mighty Charger Band Members earned 1st chair on six out of the eleven available instruments is truly a historic accomplishment- one that beats all BISD and TMEA Region 28 records. On behalf of all the Veterans Memorial ECHS band directors, Charger Staff, and administration, we would like to congratulate the following students on their tremendous accomplishment.
 Edith Olivares- Piccolo  Michael Arizmendi- Trumpet |  Hannah Valle- Oboe  Alberto Guerrero- Bass Trombone |  Adolfo Peña- French Horn  Oscar Cantu- Percussion |
