The 34 th Annual Auburn University Symphonic Honor Band Festival will take place at Auburn University February 27 - March 1, 2025.

Students from across the Southeast and the nation will be selected to participate in the festival based on their experience and directors' recommendations. This year’s festival will feature two bands: the Wind Ensemble and the Symphonic Band. Ensembles will be conducted by renowned band directors, and all participants will have the opportunity to work with guest composer Dana Wilson, trumpet soloist Graham Breedlove, as well as Auburn University faculty and students, in rehearsals and masterclasses.

Participants will check in at Goodwin Music Building on Thursday, February 27, at 2:00pm.  The festival will conclude at 12:00pm on March 1 after the finale concert at the Gogue Performing Arts Center. 

Auburn University is not able to provide housing and meals for this event. Participants will need to travel with a parent or chaperone and be transported to and from rehearsals at Goodwin Music Building, and to concerts at the Gogue Performing Arts Center. There are options for meals both on campus and downtown. For participants who drive themselves, on-campus parking can be arranged.

A $10 application fee is required. After being selected, each musician will pay a non-refundable $65 participation fee by the deadline in the acceptance letter. At that time, excerpts and instructions for online placement auditions will be shared.  Participants will receive a long-sleeved festival t-shirt during check-in, and a medal after the festival has concluded.
