Each fall more than 100 of the Northland's best high school musicians gather at the University of Wisconsin-Superior for the Tri-State Honor Band Festival.

The musicians spend the day working with music faculty and guest clinicians. That evening they join university musicians in performing a public concert in Thorpe Langley Auditorium.

For more information about the Tri-State Honor Band Festival, contact the UW-Superior Music Department at (715) 394-8115 or music@uwsuper.edu
