The "8th Grade District Honor Choir" is hosted by the St. Croix Valley Music Educators’ Association every year. The 8th Grade Band and 8th Grade Orchestra also perform at this event. These groups are made up of qualified, selected, eighth grade students from Ellsworth, New Richmond, Prescott, Baldwin-Woodville, River Falls, St. Croix Central, and Hudson. Each ensemble is conducted by a guest director.

The District Honors Concert will take place on Saturday, January 21st, at River Falls High School Auditorium (818 Cemetery Rd, River Falls, WI 54022), from 8:30 AM – 3:00 PM. Students will ride the bus to that location. The day will consist of rehearsals and lunch, culminating in a concert for the public at 1:30 PM. (Students may only be in one of the performing groups.)

Students are selected by Ms. Maher and will receive their music in late November/early December. Ms. Maher will schedule a few after or before-school rehearsals so the music is learned before the event. Students are also expected to practice on their own.
