Honor Band & Honor Orchestra
(Updated September 23rd, 2021)
The KPASS Honor Band is a festival held every year. Students from all over the Kanto area are selected to participate by submitting a recorded audition, which is then judged and ranked through a "blind" audition process. The highest ranking students for each instrument are selected to be a part of the Honor Band.
These top-ranking musicians join together as a group for the opportunity to rehearse and perform top-level music with an exceptional guest conductor. Although the final format will be determined at a later time, it has been determined it will not be done digitally the way it was last year. In addition to being a rare opportunity, it is a great addition to college applications as an indicator of both dedication and talent.
You can apply to take part in KPASS Honor Band if you are grades 9-12 and participate in a music club at Saint Maur. You can apply for the KPASS Honor Orchestra if you are a string player in grades 7-12 and participate in a music club or class at Saint Maur.
