Music Clinics & Festivals

Choral Music Festivals

Choral performing groups from individual schools are critiqued by an adjudicator and have the opportunity to hear other groups. Knowing that they will be professionally critiqued and that they will be heard by challenging schools stimulates the students to thoroughly prepare.

Honor Bands and Orchestras

Students are selected in two ways for the Honor Groups. At the elementary level the young musicians are recommended by the music teacher. At the middle and high school level the students must audition.

Approximately 1,000 students are recommended on auditions each year, which is a powerful motivation to improve performance skills.
