NYSBDA Honor Bands

The NYSBDA Middle and High School Honor Bands will rehearse and perform in person at the annual NYSBDA Symposium in Syracuse, NY. The dates for the 2027 Symposium are March 5-7.

The Honor Band student nomination process will be completely through NYSBDA's Da Capo site, nysbdamemebers.org.  Nominating directors must be active members of NYSBDA.

If you are a teacher who pays their membership by PO, we are working on a system to provide you with access to nominations.  When that system is in place, we will push information out regarding the procedure. Thank you for your patience as we navigate this transition. 

The deadline to submit forms and materials is October 30th. 

Participation fee $400 for Senior High and $300 for Middle School (covers fees, lodging, meals, and digital concert recording)
