In March, we host two All District Festivals, one for band and one for choir. We bring all of our choir and band students on those respective days to take part in a day of performance and music education. ​The students are exposed to a variety of activities throughout the day to expand their music education. The day consists of:

• Mass Ensemble Rehearsal with guest clinician
• Sectionals with their part or voice led by an expert on their part or voice
• Ensemble rehearsal in the venue
• Ensemble clinic with guest clinician
• Program building session
• Exposure to the high school music program for younger students
• ​Concert
  

It is important for students to receive outside perspectives on their rehearsals and performances consistently throughout their music education. The guest clinician we bring in are outstanding, established music educators.
