    The Association of Texas Small School Bands is pleased to announce the selection of the 2010 ATSSB All- State Band. More than 9,000 high school band students from across the state of Texas auditioned in 20 different regions for a place in their respective All-Region bands. The top chairs in each region advanced to one of five area auditions held on January 9, across the state and only 240 of these 1360 students were selected for all- state honors.
    The ATSSB All-State Bands rehearsed in San Antonio, Texas from February 10-13, and presented a concert on Saturday, February 13 in Ballroom A of the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center. Admission was free to the public.
