Honor Band

Two Fort Mill High School band students were awarded a spot in the Honor Band of America, sponsored by Bands of America and Music for All. Logan Herbert (clarinet) and Andrew Krieger (oboe) will travel to Indianapolis in March as part of the Honor Band and spend three days learning and performing concert music with esteemed directors and other students from across the nation.

Since its inception in 1992, the Honor Band of America has earned a national reputation as one of the nation's finest student concert honor bands. The Honor Band has received international accolades in recent years, with a performance by invitation at the World Association of Symphonic Bands and Ensembles in 1997 and a concert tour of Japan in 1999. With the opportunity to rehearse and perform with renowned conductors, perform with world-class guest artists, premiere new commissioned works for concert band and perform for a "dream audience" of outstanding high school musicians and educators from across the country, the Honor Band of America is a "must" for the nation's finest high school musicians.

To be considered, the students had to fill out an application and send in a recording of two pieces of music, selected by Bands of America and Music for All, for judging. While in Indianapolis, the students will spend most of their time practicing and on the final day, will hold a concert showing off all they've learned.

Congratulations to Logan & Andrew!!!
