Wind Ensemble invited to the National Concert Band Festival- Mandatory Meeting November 6th

10/29/2019

 
​The South Lakes High School Wind Ensemble has a unique and exciting spring planned. We are one of 16 bands from across the United States to be invited to perform on the main stage at National Concert Band Festival in Indianapolis, Indiana on March 11-14, 2020. This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to perform among the elite musicians in the America.

​On November 6, 2019 at 7 pm a representative from Bands of America will be at South Lakes High School to provide a site visit and explain the process. This is a mandatory meeting for all students in Wind Ensemble and the percussionists who will be in the Wind Ensemble. A parent should accompany their student so they can learn about this wonderful opportunity. We are also inviting any senior in symphonic band who would like to travel the opportunity to be a part of this trip. They will have the opportunity to participate in master class, attend concerts, and be part of the social events.

The National Concert Band Festival is one of the most prestigious high school band events in the nation and requires a rigors audition process. We have successfully passed that audition and now have the opportunity to provide our students a life experience at the highest level.
