Idaho State University to Host Southeastern Idaho Honor Band Concert

Free performance set for Thursday, April 2, at 7 p.m. in Jensen Grand Concert Hall

Idaho State University’s School of Performing Arts will welcome talented high school musicians from across the region for the annual Southeastern Idaho Honor Band, culminating in a free public concert on Thursday, April 2, at 7 p.m. in the Jensen Grand Concert Hall.

The Southeastern Idaho Honor Band is comprised of more than 80 outstanding student musicians representing eight area high schools. Nominated by their directors, these students come together to form a large ensemble, often significantly bigger than the groups they typically perform with, offering a unique and enriching musical experience.

Participants will spend two days in intensive rehearsals on April 1 and 2, working collaboratively to prepare a dynamic concert program. The experience provides students with the opportunity to refine their skills, connect with peers from across the region, and perform in one of Southeast Idaho’s premier concert venues.

The concert will open with a performance by the ISU Wind Ensemble, led by Luke Strother, ISU Director of Bands, followed by the Southeastern Idaho Honor Band. Together, the program highlights both collegiate and pre-collegiate musical excellence while celebrating the strength of music education in the region.

This event is free and open to the public.
