Due to MENC members' busy fall schedules, and in response to MENC state leadership requests, the MENC National Executive Board has made the decision to extend the MENC National Honor Ensembles audition deadline to February 1, 2010.
"We, the MENC National Executive Board, feel that it is important for every MENC member who teaches high school to be aware of this new opportunity for their exceptional student musicians. Moving the audition deadline to February 1, 2010 gives our MENC leadership the time they have requested to get the word out to their state and divisional membership!" says Barbara Geer, MENC President. "We are determined to make these ensembles a huge success in June 2010!"
2010 National Honor Ensemble Conductors
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts will host the 2010 National Concert Band, Mixed Choir, and Orchestra performance; the National Jazz Band will perform as part of the MENC Jazz Academy during Music Education Week in Washington DC.
Only active MENC members may submit audition materials for their high school sophomores or juniors* to be considered for this national recognition. If a student is selected to perform in one of these prestigious National Honor Ensembles, their cost will be $699. (Transportation to Washington DC is additional.) Visit MENC Events for complete information, audition materials list, and application. A $20 administration fee will be required for each application submitted. For inquiries, contact Chris Meeker, 800-479-8247.
*Current high school seniors are not eligible to apply because most high school graduations take place before the event dates of June 23–28, 2010, and only students associated with a high school may participate.
