HONOR ENSEMBLES

These groups are great opportunities for our advanced students to perform in new settings, with other like minded musicians and with new conductors.  We are lucky to have both band and orchestra option within driving distance.

Auditions requirements vary, so cheek the websites of the organization that you are interested in and make sure that you understand the application process and deadlines.  Check the rehearsal and performance calendar against ours so that you do not create unnecessary conflicts.
