MS Honor Band

Every two years, band directors in the West Michigan area have the opportunity to nominate outstanding student musicians for this special Honor Band experience.  No auditions are needed.  Acceptance into the groups is based on Director nomination/student lottery.  The goal is to have student representation from all schools participating in the event.  Students who are selected will have the opportunity to work with a Guest Conductor, rehearse music during the day, and perform a concert of selected repertoire that very same evening for their family and friends!  Please consider nominating some of your great 7th & 8th grade students!
