About

Get ready for the school year and jump start your Junior/Senior District audition preparation with a week-long morning program for winds, brass, and percussion players entering grades 7-12 for the 2025-26 school year. In one week, students learn repertoire and prepare for a final concert. Music is at the Junior District level and includes a variety of styles from classical to movie music! 

Each day includes rehearsals, sectionals, and a break with provided refreshments. Sectionals will be run by Senior District-level high school students who apply for those positions. There will also be a master class on preparing for Junior and Senior District auditions which will give students a great jump start into the audition season!

Students do not have to participate in the Rivers Youth Wind Ensemble program to attend Summer Band.

Section Leaders

Students who have been accepted into Senior Districts are welcome to apply to be Section Leaders.

These students will gain valuable leadership experience, run sectionals with guidance from the director, and can add that they were a Summer Section Leader to their resume! This position has a reduced fee of $310.
