2026 George R. Boulden Honor Band Festival
George R. Boulden Honor Band Weekend features two fantastic bands and lots of opportunities to learn, grow, and share in a once-in-a-lifetime experience with giants of the wind band world and other band students.
Entrance into the Honors Concert Band is based on high school director recommendation and all names must be submitted by director and not by student.
Entrance into the Honors Wind Ensemble will be based on a personal application and audition recording submitted by each student musician.
Wind Ensemble
This elite ensemble of 50-60 musicians is open to all high school band members grades 9-12 and will be selected through application and recorded audition.
Concert Band
This is our non-audition group for freshmen and sophomores by director recommendation only. Please limit your recommendations to 9th and 10th graders, and select juniors and seniors, up to 20% of your ensemble's size. Rank your student recommendations from top to bottom. Part assignments will be made to properly balance the ensemble.
