Southern Lakes Select High School Band Festival

Due to recent circumstances, the High School Band Festival is cancelled. We anticipate hosting the festival again next year. Please check back for updates.

Greetings and welcome to the homepage for the Southern Lakes Select High School Band Festival. This event is designed to bring the finest high school wind, brass and percussion students from Southeastern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois to the UW-Whitewater campus for an intense two-day musical experience.

The festival will culminate with a concert under the direction of the 2011 guest conductor Dr. Robert Grechesky. In addition, the students will have the opportunity to interact with UW-W faculty through concerts, sectionals, master classes, and a chair placement for the ensemble.

It is hoped that this experience will provide a rewarding and enriching opportunity for all involved. We look forward to making this event a success and in order to do that we need your participation. Please feel free to review the information and download an application for review.
