The Ohio State band faculty is committed to offering exciting and meaningful performance and learning opportunities for young musicians. The High School Honor Band Weekend is one of the longest-running and finest events of its kind, and has welcomed thousands of the most talented high school musicians over its 35+ years. Students are selected from high school band director nominations. Those who attend are then placed into separate bands based on auditions on campus at the start of Honor Band Weekend.
