MS Band Festival

MS Band Festival - March 15th, 2025

August 12th, 2024

Dear Middle School Band Director,

We would like to invite you to the De Soto MS Band Festival being held on March 15th, 2025 in our auditorium. This event is open to all MS Bands, from Beginning groups to seasoned 8th Grade ensembles. This could be the perfect opportunity to get your younger groups in front of adjudicators to get out the nerves before the end of the year.

All groups will be scheduled a performance time on stage that will be followed up with a clinic.  All directors will receive digital comments from clinicians. This event will follow the performance/clinic format and NO ratings or placements will be used.

This festival also features a Solo and Small Ensemble option for schools to take part in.  Students perform in the DHS Band Room and receive an onsite clinic as well as comments from an adjudicator.  This is an incredibly beneficial option to help spur your motivated kids to push for all-district in high school and a great way to encourage struggling musicians to keep working hard.  

​

If you have questions, you may call or email Darrell Boyer, Director of Bands, for more information.

​Registration is below.
