Non-Required Events
District Honor Band
District Honor Band is an optional opportunity for middle school students for which they must
audition. If selected for the ensemble, students will attend the festival with band students from
other schools. It is a GREAT opportunity to challenge themselves musically, work with other
band directors, and meet other music students in New Mexico!
In order to audition students are required to attend at least one practice audition. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND
attending as many as possible! If the student cannot make any practice date, they MUST set up an alternate time
with Miss Scrudders before or after school. New Mexico Music Educators Association also requires that students
be academically eligible to audition (2.0 GPA and not failing any classes).
Practice Auditions Monday, September 18 3:30-4:30PM
