This winter, 64 middle school students and 75 high school student musicians were selected to participate in the 2025 North County Honor Band. This year’s performance will take place on February 8 at 6 pm at Hockinson High School. The concert is free and open to the public.
The Honor Band program provides an incredible opportunity for young musicians to collaborate with peers, refine their skills, and perform under the direction of renowned conductors. A panel of local band directors screened middle and high school applications to select student participants for this prestigious event.
The program culminates in a public performance, where the students will perform challenging and diverse pieces.
The North County Honor Band recognizes the dedication and talent of student musicians at schools in Clark County, Washington. These students exemplify a commitment to musical excellence, made possible with the support of dedicated music educators and families.
“North County Honor Band is a team effort among band directors from smaller middle and high schools in Clark County. It gives talented student musicians the chance to experience playing in a high-level band,” said Corey McEnry, band director at Hockinson High School.
Student musicians in the ESD 112 region were also notified this month about selections to participate in the Lower Columbia River Music Educators Association Honor Band, Pacific Lutheran University Northwest High School Honor Band, Western International Band Clinic Honor Band, and the National Association for Music Education All-Northwest Honor Band.
