Honor Band

The Honor Band consists of 7th and 8th graders in the Riverwood Band. The Honor Band is under the direction of Mr. Burleson with assistance from Mr. Maxey and Ms. Jones. 

Students in Honor Band participate in before and after school sectionals. Sectionals allow the directors to have individualized time with each student. 

Sectionals

Honor Band sectionals will begin August 25th. We ask that students are present for every sectional because that is the only time that the directors have to work with individual sections.

Morning sectionals start at 7:00 AM and end at 7:45 AM.  

Afternoon sectionals start at 4:15 PM and end at 5:00 PM.

If a students sectional time falls during their athletics practice they are allowed to miss one day per week, but they must communicate with their coach. 

Private Lessons

It is recommended that all members of Honor Band take private lessons. This is the best way for students to enhance their musical knowledge and performance level, and it is a great way for them to prepare for Region Band auditions and Solo & Ensemble Festival. Most private lessons are taught at RMS or KHS, but some lesson instructors prefer to teach out of their homes. Below is a list of lesson teachers (by instrument) and their contact information. 

Paying for private lessons is the responsibility of the student and their parents.
