All Day
Weigel Hall Auditorium
Following the overwhelming success of the inaugural OSU Middle School Honor Band Festival in 2012, we are delighted to once again welcome outstanding musicians in seventh and eighth grades to be nominated by their band directors for the 2013 Middle School Honor Band. Students who are selected for the one-day event will take part in one of two 80-piece concert bands - a 7th Grade Honor Band and an 8th Grade Honor Band. Both honor bands will have the opportunity to rehearse and perform with guest composer/director Mr. Balmages and Dr. Jones, in addition to side-by-side rehearsals with musicians of the OSU Symphonic Band and Collegiate Winds. Lunch, a festival T-shirt, and recording of the final performance is included in the $40 tuition.
