THANK YOU for seeking more information regarding the Wind Ensemble’s application and possible trip to the Music For All National Festival in Indianapolis, Indiana!!!

This is a very prestigious festival. Through an application process, only a handful of high schools, nationwide, are invited to participate. If accepted, the Symphonic Wind Ensemble will be performing a 40 minute concert in a world-class concert hall at Butler University in front of a large and receptive audience.

If you have any questions, please email Mr. Posner or Moira Monk and they will add them to a new FAQ that will be released this Friday September 10.
