Invitational Honor Band

Friday, January 26, and Saturday, January 27, 2024

The Invitational Honor Band weekend brings together close to 200 high school students from Kentucky and neighboring states for a weekend of excellent music making. This is an invitation-only event and requires high school band directors, UofL faculty, or private instructors to complete a nomination form for their students.  After the director/teacher sends in their nominations to the band office, students are carefully selected and sent an invitation from the UofL Band Department requesting their participation. Once participation is confirmed, audition music and additional details and materials about the Honor Band weekend are sent out as a separate mailing to invited students. The final event will feature a Saturday evening performance at 7:00 p.m. of the Honor Bands in Margaret Comstock Concert Hall at the School of Music.

Click here to nominate your students for the 26th Annual Invitational Honor Band. Please submit nominations by Friday, November 3, 2023. Early nominations will be appreciated!
