Honor Band

Jefferson College and UMSL join together to offer an honor band experience for high school students in the St. Louis metropolitan and surrounding areas. This is an opportunity for high school directors to nominate their top musicians to participate in a one-day workshop of rehearsals and master classes.

The honor band will rehearse all day on Saturday, November 23, from 8 am to 4:30 pm. This event will culminate with an evening performance in UMSL’s Touhill Performing Arts Center at 7 pm.

Nominations begin in August and are due by October 6, 2024. Nominate a student!
