The High School Honor Band provides talented student musicians with the opportunity to rehearse and perform some of the best wind band literature (both new and old) within a traditional symphonic band setting comprised of other high school students from across the state of Michigan.
The High School Honor Band is Friday, February 25 and will take place on campus. It begins at 8:00 a.m. with check-in and a light breakfast and concludes after our 7:00 p.m. evening concert. Last year's Honor band was conducted by Damien Crutcher, founder and CEO of Crescendo Detroit. The band met for two major rehearsals and performed in concert that same evening with the Albion College Symphonic Wind Ensemble.
With the event being only one day, we plan to select participants and assign/mail all parts ahead of time to allow students time to practice. The group is open to all high school woodwind, brass, and percussion musicians through:
Deadline for application and audition materials is Monday, January 31, 2022.
