Honor Bands

Participating in an honor band is a great way to improve as a musician and to gain experience with a wider range of music, conductors, and concert settings.  Some of these opportunities are multi-day experiences.  Students prepare the concert material with the guest conductor and then hold a large concert in the host university's concert hall.  In order to participate, students must be nominated by Mr. Schneblin and pass the selection process.

The purpose of this band is to provide younger high school students with the opportunity to perform with their peers in an Honor Band situation.  This experience will also encourage students to remain a part of his or her instrumental music program throughout high school and eventually assume a leadership role for their band program.  Students are selected based on their past musical accomplishments.  The Bradley Honor Band is held annually in mid-April.
