For Students: How to Apply

Students are selected based on merit, and this merit is determined by the testimony of your band director, private lesson teacher, or sometimes both. Fill out the form below to initiate the application process. Once you have filled out the form, a separate form will be emailed to your director or lesson teacher where they will recommend you for the band.
