We are beyond thrilled, incredibly proud, and honored to officially announce that the choir has been selected as a Invited Choir!

For those who might not know, this is essentially the “State Championship” of choral music. The Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) convention is the largest of its kind in the world, and Texas is famous for having the most competitive music programs in the nation.

To be chosen, our choir went through a rigorous, “blind” audition process, where a panel of judges listened to unedited recordings from multiple school years. Out of hundreds of incredible programs across the state, Fossum MS was selected as one of the absolute best. This honor proves that our students have built a legacy of sustained excellence, discipline, and beautiful artistry.

This school year, our students will travel to San Antonio to perform a featured concert in front of thousands of music educators and musicians from across the globe.

Thank you to our incredible students for their tireless hard work, our directors for their brilliant leadership, and our amazing parents, administration, and Falcon community for always lifting us up. We could not have reached this milestone without the continuous support and vision of .

We are headed to TMEA! Let’s go, Falcons!
