Regional Honor Band

Open to all 7th and 8th grade members, and occasionally 6th grade members. Students may sign up and will be put in a ranked list based on playing ability (the directors decide this). The list will be sent to Beckley where other schools in our region will do the same. From these lists, a committee will decide on who gets in (determined by the student’s rank and need of instrument). Once accepted, they will audition in Beckley to determine if you get in Gold or Silver Band and what chair you earn. Rehearsals usually take place during the day on Friday and Saturday, and a concert happens Saturday evening. Auditions are usually in March, rehearsals and the concert are usually in April. A “B” band average is required as well as a $35 registration fee.
