The BCPS Middle School Honors Band is an annual event which provides our students the opportunity to achieve greater musicianship through hard work.

Students must work hard to prepare required scales and a short solo for their audition.  A pre-determined number in each section will be accepted to attend the Honors Band Clinic following auditions.

Students accepted will experience working with a guest clinician during our 2-day clinic. Previous clinicians include: Chris Ferguson, Mekel Rogers, Ted Neely,  Ruth Petersen, Jenny Lanier, David Wortman, Dr. John Entzi, Kevin Howard, our very own Carla Draughn (Retired BCPS Director), and many others over the years.

If you have further questions about the clinic, don't hesitate to reach out to your school's director.

Students must be enrolled in band at one of our five BCPS Middle Schools to be eligible to audition. Below you will find this year's audition requirements. Find your instrument below to access Scales, Solo, and a link to a  Solo Tutorial for your instrument (when one is available). Your band director will be able to provide information regarding which portion of the solo will be required for this year's auditions.
