Honor Bands

Honor Bands get their name because it is an honor to be selected to perform in these esembles. Most honor bands include an application and audition process. Auditions typically include scales, a prepared piece, and sight reading. There are two different types of honor bands; All-State and district are put on by the State of Alabama, most others are put on by colleges from across the US. There are different honor bands for both middle school and high school levels.
