District iv HONOR BAND ASSOCIATION
Thank you to all the students and volunteer directors that made the 2018-2019 Honor Bands a success! Special thanks to our outstanding panel of guest clinicians Jennifer Bergeron, Erik Morales, Cliff Croomes, and Ben Lorenzo!
|
The purpose of this organization is to organize and conduct the District IV Honor Bands and to provide the opportunity for all students to audition and participate in one of two middle school honor bands or two high school honor bands. Students of LMEA members who actively participate in auditions, meetings, and the Honor Band weekend are eligible to audition. Additionally, if the student attends a school that has a band program, he or she MUST be a member of the band at the school.
BAND DIRECTOR MEETING
November TBA at 6:30 p.m. at Dutchtown Middle School - All pre-registration forms and fees are due by this date. Directors must attend in order to have students participate in the Honor Band weekend.
