Having earned his way into the Texas All-State Band, I can only assume that Rasheed has either had private instruction or is exceptionally gifted and disciplined, or both. Getting into all-state in Texas is quite a bit harder than in many states, because Texas has generally excellent band programs and the competition is severe.
That said, I agree that it is probably time for Rasheed to consider traveling to Denton (or similar) to get a lesson and some advice from one of the big boys.
