Thank you for your interest in our Middle School & High School Honor ensembles at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½! 

Directors may use the links below to complete recommendations for their students. Selected students will be notified of their acceptance via email. After registration closes, a detailed information packet will be sent to students and directors, including the complete festival schedule, lodging options for out-of-town students, and other pertinent information. There will be a participation fee of $65 per student, payable upon arrival on campus via check or money order made out to the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Foundation, with "Music" in the memo line. Alternatively, Directors may pay for all of their students at once online at , selecting "Music Department" as the Gift Designation, and then providing a copy of the receipt at registration.

The Honor ensembles also serve as an opportunity for high school seniors interested in attending ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ to  audition for a scholarship to attend ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½. Band students interested in auditioning for a Music and/or Band scholarship should prepare two contrasting pieces (one technical and one lyrical) in addition to all twelve major scales and arpeggios. Choir students interested in auditioning for a Music and/or Choir scholarship should prepare a piece from two of the three following categories: (1) a published art song, such as from the Twenty-four Italian Songs and Arias, or a published African-American Negro Spiritual (sample composers: Harry T. Burleigh, Hall Johnson, Magaret Bonds, etc.), (2) a Patriotic Song, such as "My Country Tis of Thee," or "The Star-Spangled Banner," (3) a musical theater selection, such as "Tomorrow" from Annie, "Maria" from West Side Story, etc. 

At ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, we are always excited to work with the outstanding students who participate in our Honor ensembles, and we look forward to providing a musically rewarding experience for all involved. For any questions about the Honor ensembles, contact Dr. Russell Greene at rgreene@alasu.edu.
