High Plains Band and Choir Festival

The CSC Music Department will host the High Plains Band and Choir Honor Festival on January 30-31, 2012. Eligible participants are high school students who have an interest in music, would like to further their musical knowledge, and want to have FUN making music with other students who share the same interest.

Students selected for the High Plains Band and Choir Music Festival participate in two days of rehearsals and activities culminating in a concert at the end of the second day at Chadron State College located in beautiful northwest Nebraska. Ensembles include an Honor Band, Honor Choir (SATB), Women's Choir, and Festival Band.
