High School Band Directors College of Southern Idaho Honor Band
by Robert D. Coleman 21 Mar '18

21 Mar '18

Dear Music Educators: Thanks very much for your interest in, and willingness to publicize, the College of Southern Idaho’s first high school honor band. Not only is it our first time to offer an event such as this, it’s also the first time our IT staff has set up an online application system using a new software system they have only recently adopted. Somehow, even though we successfully tested the application system before publicizing it, for some reason, it did not record any of the student applications that were submitted prior to Saturday, March 17. The good news, though, is that the problem has been fixed, and the other good news is that the systemdidrecord the recommendations that directors submitted. Needless to say, we’re a little red-faced with embarrassment that parts of the system didn’t work as planned, and I would ask that, if you have any students who applied before the 17th, please ask them to go online and fill out the application a second time. I’ve attached an announcement that includes more information, including the link to our website. In the announcement, there is also a reminder that the deadline for priority consideration for the band is Monday, April 2. We’ve been getting a good response so far, but we could still use more of the following instruments: Double reeds Alto and bari sax Trumpet Horn Euphonium Percussion By the way, if you are recommending a euphonium player, it would help if you could indicate whether that student plays treble or bass clef. Thanks for your understanding as we work through this unexpected glitch. We’re excited to be able to offer this opportunity for your students to rehearse and perform under the director of the Eastman Wind Ensemble. Best, George K.
