Congratulations to Jack Keefe for earning 2nd chair on Bass Trombone in the top All-State Jazz Band! Jack is the first All-State Jazz student from Grapevine High School since 2005. Last year, Jack was 3rd in the state in the TMEA All-State Concert Band. This results is a reflection of the hard work Jack has put in to truly go above and beyond and we are so proud of him.
