On February 11, and 12, 2022, band students from Thomas County Middle School traveled to ABAC in Tifton, Georgia to participate in the District 2 Middle School Honor Band Clinic. Of the ninety 7th and 8th grade students representing fourteen different middle schools across Southwest GA, fifty (more than half) were from Thomas County Middle School.

“The District Honor Band clinic consists of between eight and nine hours of intense rehearsals which culminate in a concert performance on the final day. This year, our middle school students worked with teacher and composer, Dr. Andrew Poor, from South Forsyth Middle School in Cumming, GA. The band performed four selections including two of Dr. Poor’s compositions,” stated TCMS Band Director William Majors.

Majors further stated that “TCMS had a record number of students make District Honor Band this year. We are very proud of these kids and are glad they had this opportunity to further develop their musical skills and perform with other outstanding students from around Southwest Georgia.”
