Students are encouraged to audition for honor ensembles, including all state events at each level. Honor ensembles require auditioned material to be prepared and performed for a judge or to send in recordings for judging. This is a highly influential experience and phenomenal music is created.
Students will have the opportunity to meet new students and friends from other schools, perform challenging music, and work with distinguished conductors and teachers from around the globe.
Honor bands, festivals, and summer programs are great ways to improve your playing, continue playing throughout the summer, and continue to push yourself in music preparation.
Here are some opportunities to audition, participate and perform outside of the daily
