Audition Information
Students will submit auditions online. Beginning Sunday December 7, 2025 students will be able to access the registration information and submit their auditions online. There is no fee to register, students need only to complete the registration form and upload their audition recording. If accepted to the 78 honor band, there is a participation fee of $75.
Our goal is that no student will be excluded because of an inability to pay the fee. If you would like information about financial assistance email your band manager after you receive the acceptance email and they will assist you.
This year's conductors are
-
Dr. Lisa Tatum, Director of Bands, Lubbock Christian University
-
Col. Lowell Graham, retired Commander and Conductor, United States Air Force Band
