The goal of the NCAIS Honor Band is to give students the opportunity to perform with a large concert band comprised of the most talented 6th-12th grade concert band musicians from the NC Association of Independent Schools. Any 6th-12th grade student enrolled in an NCAIS independent school during the 2016-17 school year and who plays a concert band instrument is eligible to participate. Students are nominated by their band director and selected by a committee of participating directors.
In this, our 8th year the 2016 NCAIS Honor Bands include almost 175 students from 27 independent schools, conducted by Dr. Shawn Smith and Dr. Jeffrey Miller from UNC-Charlotte.
Nine Cary Academy students were selected:
