Honor BandMusically advanced students from each of the schools Overture serves can be nominated by their band director to participate in Overture’s Honor Band. Honor Band offers these students a larger group band experience, the opportunity to play more challenging music, and an extended performance schedule.
Current teachers employed by Overture run the weekly, evening Honor Band rehearsals and present a concert in November and March. The Honor Band also goes on a performance tour in November and March to several of the schools that Overture serves. Performances are in conjunction with the Jazz Band performances. Tour not only provides support for its participants, but also acts as a recruitment tool for students to join and stay in band. The students who participate in Honor Band gain self-confidence, achieve a higher level of musicianship, and attain musical leadership which they bring back and incorporate into their own school band. (Since Covid and due to the increased cost of bussing, Honor Band does not anticipate going on tour for the near future.) |
