WSMA high school State Honors project
WSMA high school State Honors project
Mt. Horeb has a long and proud tradition of participating in WSMA Honors groups. We've had tremendous success with students auditioning into these top-tier ensembles.
These are the most prestigious honors groups in Wisconsin, and the auditions are the most demanding of any auditioned group. Selected students spend time in rehearsal and performance with nationally-recognized conductors and teachers.
The time commitment for both auditions and participants is substantial. The Mt. Horeb Music Boosters and the Mt. Horeb Area School District offer scholarship money toward participation.
To earn a spot in honors band or orchestra, keep in mind the following:
You need to raise your overall base level of skill
You are competing against somebody else (who wants it more?)
Deadline
Registration for HS honors closes at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, December 6, 2024. Late registrations will not be accepted.
