Honor Bands and Events

GMEA ALL-STATE AND DISTRICT V HONOR BAND

All-State Band and District Honor Band is a program that recognizes and provides opportunities for talented young musicians to perform challenging music and work with guest conductors. It can also be a chance to meet other talented musicians from across the state. Beginning each fall tens of thousands of middle school and high school students drive to a nearby high school and audition. Individual musicians perform selected music for a panel of judges who rank each instrument. Autrey Mill Middle School is humbled to send several students to both GMEA All-State Band and GMEA District V Honor Band each year. We hope to continue this tradition of excellence for the 2024-2025 school year.
