All-State Band 


All-State band is comprised of the top high school band students from approximately 224 high schools throughout the state.  Students 9-12th grades have the opportunity to audition to perform in this All-Star group which gives a performance in Louisville at the Kentucky Music Educators Conference in February each year.  Students have a 2 step audition process.  First round auditions take place at the District level by auditioning for All-District band.  Qualifying students are recommended to final round auditions in Dec. held at John Hardin HS in Elizabethtown, KY.  There is a $7.00 audition fee paid by the student upon registration.  The MCHS band boosters cover hotel rooms and folder fees for students that make the All-State band.  This trip is Wed-Sat with a 3 night hotel stay.  Students that make the All-State band generally receive scholarship money and financial aid to attend college.  In some instances students may receive a full ride depending on chair placement.  


There are three ensembles that students can audition for in the Kentucky All-State Bands.
1.  Symphonic Band - Is the top ensemble
2. Concert Band - Is the 2nd ensemble
3. Orchestra - Takes a mix of top wind players that opt to perform in this group
