Honor Bands

Summer Music Camps Guide

WCSMA - Westchester County School Music Association
WCSMA provides opportunities for advanced students to participate in All-County Honor Bands. Participation is selected through an audition process.

NYSSMA - New York State School Music Association
NYSSMA sponsors an annual Solo & Ensemble Festival each Spring. During these evaluation festivals, students perform a solo or small ensemble piece for NYSSMA adjudicators, sight-read, perform selected scales or rudiments and receive a grade or rating. Along with the rating, judges write comments to assist students in improving their musical skills. Students interested in playing at these festivals need to begin preparation early and will find more success if they study with a private teacher. Contact Mr. Austin for more information. NYSSMA Festival 2017 INFO

NYSSMA also sponsors the All State Wind Ensemble and All State Band. Advanced students are selected to participate through an audition process.
