Student Selection

We are allowing each high school band & choir director to select a percentage of their students, based on the total number of students that you have in your high school band or choir program. This will make it possible for everyone to select a fair number of students. If your school is planning to participate, please fill out the survey below with your name, school, and total high school band or choir program size. Please do this by October 15th so we can determine numbers and let you start selecting students. Only high school band and choir directors may complete the surveys below. If you are a private music teacher or parent of a homeschooled student, please reach out to us for more details. 

After everyone submits their total band and choir numbers to us, we will send out a Google Form for submitting student names. When filling it out, please make sure you know their playing/singing level, t-shirt size preference, and food allergies. Your student selections will be due by December 1st. If you would like to see some of the band music from the past couple of years to help you decide if a student is ready, email Ethan Jacobsen ([email protected]). Costs are $40 per student. This contribution helps pay for lunch, the honor band t-shirt, snacks, the conductor, and other honor band expenses. 

Even though auditions will not be required, we hope that directors will choose students who are ready for honor band and honor choir. Additional information about selecting students will be provided at a later date.
