MusicAlliance Honor Band
ProgramsThe
Honor Bands exist to give outstanding middle school and
junior high band students in the Cleveland metropolitan area the
opportunity to play music of a more
advanced level than is normally possible in their regular school bands
and is
a wonderful chance for the band members to meet other talented young
musicians from many other area schools. Selection of honor band
members is done through nomination by band directors and/or auditions.
Students must be able to play with advanced proficiency on their
instrument, demonstrate good conduct, and be an outstanding member of
their school band. The
following honor band program consists of the following groups:
Westside Summer Honor
Band, Eastside Summer Honor
Bands I and II, Christmas
Honor Band, and the Eastside Honor
Jazz Band. Honor Band News and Events:

I served as guest conductor for their summer honors band and did an in-service music reading clinic with the music staff. They are a dedicated and talented group of music educators ... The things that impressed me about the honors band program include... the level of music performed ... and the quality of instruction ..." - Len Orcino (Composer/Educator and Guest Conductor of the 2004 Summer Honor Band)
