The Department of Music at SUU will host over 100 high school students from the region to perform in the SUU High School Honor Band concert on Saturday, January 11, 2020, at 4 p.m. in the Heritage Center Theater. The concert will also feature the SUU Wind Symphony. This event is free and open to the public.

Dr. Adam Lambert, Director of Bands at SUU, shares, “Students are accepted by audition. There is a short piece of music written by Dr. Keith Bradshaw that high school students prepare on their own. They perform this piece by recording then sending it to the university for adjudication. If accepted, they are invited to participate in a two day experience rehearsing and performing exciting music culminating with a full performance after the two days. We average about 200 applicants and whittle that down to about 120, from schools in Northern Arizona, all throughout Nevada, and throughout Utah.”
