The Showcase of Bands at 91´«Ã½ gives talented high school musicians the opportunity to participate and learn from nationally recognized wind band conductors, as well as 91´«Ã½â€™s own applied and conducting faculty. Band directors are encouraged to attend and observe sessions under the direction of our guest conductors and the 91´«Ã½ School of Music faculty. Each year, 91´«Ã½ Bands invites three high school ensembles to participate. Additionally, local high school directors are given the opportunity to nominate students for the Honor Band, which allows students to work with a guest conductor and perform at the conclusion of the weekend.
