Honor Band/ All-State Band

Parents,

 

One final reminder:  If your student wishes to audition for District I Honor Band/All-State band on December 4, 2010 they need to sign up with Dr. Warnock and pay the audition fee by this Friday, Sept. 17.  Please send your payment in an envelope marked with "Honor Band" or "Honor Band/All-State".

 

This is a voluntary audition.  The auditions for both Honor Band and the first-round audition for All-State Band is done at the same time on Dec. 4.  The cost for only Honor Band consideration is $5.  If your student wishes to be considered for All-State as well, the fee is $23 total.  Should your student be selected for the second round of All-State auditions, there will be an additional fee for that audition.  Those auditions will be held at the beginning of January and that money will be collected then (amount TBD).

 

The Honor Band performs at AASU in February.  The students that make Honor band have a 3 day experience of practicing with other top students in District I under a guest conductor.  After three days of practice, they put on a performance at AASU for their parents and educators.  It was a great concert last year.  I assume All-State runs much the same way, just at the state level.  I do not know where those concerts are.  I believe they take place sometime in March.

 

I know this is alot of information, but I hope it was helpful.
