Students have the opportunity to participate in various honor bands throughout the year, in which students are selected from various local schools to create an ensemble. Typically students will prepare music beforehand and spend a day rehearsing, with a concert that evening. Most honor bands are selected through director nomination (SCIBA 8th grade honor band utilizes an audition). In order to be nominated, 7th and 8th grade band members must be in good standing. To be in good standing, students must be in attendance of at least 80% of concert band rehearsals and in adherence to classroom rules regarding behavior. See the band calendar for dates.
