Conference Honors Band is an exciting event NMS participates in every other year. Middle school band students are nominated by directors in each of the schools in our Capitol Music Conference. Then, based on instrumentation need, 8 to 10 students from each middle school are selected to participate in the MS Honors Band.
Students receive music about 1 month before the concert and practice on their own and in extra lessons with his/her director. On the day of the Honors Band concert, all selected students travel to the host school to rehearse as a large group under the direction of a guest conductor. That evening they perform their concert.
