What are the Middle School Honor Groups?
Middle-School students have the opportunity to play with their most talented peers from across the state in the 2005 Middle-School Honor Groups.
Conductors for the Middle School Honor Groups
- Band - Eric Hammer
- Choir - Constance Branton
- Orchestra - Doris Gazda
Every school that nominates students for inclusion in these groups will have at least one member chosen, provided that their director is a member of OMEA/MENC and attends the convention.
The groups will rehearse Thursday and Friday, January 13 & 14, 2005, in Eugene and present an early Friday evening concert. The concert location is to be announced. A registration fee of $160 will cover clinician costs, sheet music, food, lodging and administrative expenses. All participating students, except for those living in the Eugene area, will be lodged at the Eugene Hilton for one night (quads�4 to a room). Registration for local students (Eugene area) will be $125. Concert tickets will be sold at the door for $8 to cover the cost of the hall rental. Supervision will be provided from the time of registration until the concert.
Minimum participant requirements
- Band students should be able to play a 2-octave chromatic scale by memory.
- Choir members should be experienced in both homophonic and polyphonic singing and be able to hold their part confidently.
- Orchestra members need to be able to handle Grade 3 music and vibrato, and violin 1 nominees should be comfortable in 3rd position.
