Band

The 52ndt Annual South Dakota All-State Band will be held at the Huron Areana March 21-23. The Grand Concert will be held on Saturday evening, March 23, beginning at 8:00 p.m. with Anthony Maiello, conducting.

The members of the All-State Band were selected by auditioning at one of the five audition centers throughout the State. The four audition judges fly around the State to each site over a period of six days and listen to students. From that number the 161 students that are in this year's band were selected. The members of the Band represent 44 South Dakota schools.

The South Dakota Bandmasters Association is proud to be Co-Sponsoring this All-State Concert with the South Dakota High School Activities Association. It is the hopes of both Associations that the participants and members of the audience will continue to realize the vital role that music and music education plays in our lives and in our world.
