Student Testimonials
"I had a phenomenal time at the side-by-side honor band. I learned some valuable skills about fundamentals and performing in the beautiful and historic Stambaugh Auditorium was incredible. The powerful sound from our ensemble rang for multiple seconds after the release of the last note. Playing music that I would not typically play in my school ensembles was very exciting too!"
“It was the most fun I have ever had at an honor band. It was really cool getting to sit next to the top college players because you absorb certain aspects of what it means to be a good player, so I learned a lot!”
