Honor Band
​Auditions Info

Being a member of the All-State and All-District Bands is truly an Honor. Students practice selected songs, scales and sight reading to show they are prepared for performing in these select ensembles. There are auditions for each level. The All-District Band has two Middle School bands, one 9/10 High School Band, and one 11/12 Senior High Band. Below you will find some helpful links to get you started in preparing your audition.
