Evaluation Process and Selection of Finalists: All completed applications received will be reviewed by our Board of professional musicians to select Finalists for the Honors Choir and Honors Instrumental Ensembles.

Finalists and First Runners-up notifications will be mailed by October 31, 2013. Performers selected for the program to perform as part of the Honors Ensembles are designated as Finalists.
Should any Finalists cancel their participation, First Runners-up will be offered the opportunity to join.
All instrumentalists are automatically considered equally for both instrumental ensembles. Instrumentalists are first accepted into the program and are then assigned to the Band or Orchestra based upon instrumentation and balance requirements. The Series cannot guarantee that, if accepted, instrumentalists will be placed into a specific ensemble.
