HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) - High school band members and teachers can join the Marshall University Honor Band being held online this year.
Participants will rehearse a new piece by composer and educator Robert W. Smith, “Portals,” in a live, virtual setting. They will also be able to attend sessions with Marshall band directors and master classes with Marshall faculty.
The event is set for March 26. Registration is free and can be accessed at www.marshall.edu/band/honorband.
Recordings of the students performing will be edited together and be available online in a concert on YouTube.
“This event typically brings in over 400 high school students from around the Tri-State, and we hated to not be able to provide this opportunity this year,” Director of Bands Adam Dalton said in a news release from the university.
The event is sponsored by the School of Music.
