Lake Highlands senior Garrett Wingfield has become the first LH student ever to be named to the Texas All State Jazz Band. Garrett, you’ll recall, is the sax soloist seen each week in the marching band’s “Original Gangster” halftime show, and his soulful performance under the mood-setting streetlamp brought onto the field is a highlight of the show.

Garrett will play tenor saxophone with the All State Band when it performs for the Texas Music Educators Association in February. Only two tenor sax artists were chosen from students and bands all over the state. Garrett and his twin brother Luke, a trumpeter, are lead players in the LHHS Jazz One Ensemble, directed by Mark Lara, and both play in a local Latin group called Easy on the Ice. Both are also high achieving students in the classroom. Congratulations, Garrett!
