Get ready for an amazing weekend of music-making! The NKU Bands Program is excited to present the 2025 Tri-State Honor Band Symposium, taking place 17-19 January, 2025, at Northern Kentucky University in Highland Heights, KY.
Join us for a high-energy, immersive experience where students will rehearse and perform in one of two honor wind ensembles, participate in masterclasses led by NKU’s music faculty, and make lasting connections with fellow high school musicians from across the tri-state area. Throughout the event’s history, NKU has hosted thousands of young student-musicians, and we are hoping to see you and your students once again this year!
The conductors for the 2025 Tri-State Symposium Honor Bands will be Dr. Cheldon Williams, Associate Director of Bands, West Virginia University, and Dr. Zachary Cheever, Associate Director of Bands, Austin Peay University.
Interested students should ask their band or orchestra director to submit the Director Nomination Form. Please check the left sidebar for more information on auditions and nominations.
