Honor Ensembles 2019

Honor Band Season is upon us!  We treat honor bands as our addressing of our part of being ready for college...as musicians.  This schedule is made in order to maximize your ability to get in with many of the prominent music faculties/facilities in the state while learning from some of the best guest conductors available.  These are fantastic opportunities to play alongside the state's most talented musicians while being conducted by some of the nation's premiere conductors!  Opportunities like these look great on scholarships and point solidly at leadership.  Some sign up details will be added to this post in the coming days, as they are made available by the respective university.  EHO's to get you excused from school for these events can be printed out here.
