Several “Honor Band” opportunities are available between November and April every year for highly qualified student musicians. Auditions generally start in October and run through November with performances in the Spring. See the band directors for the 2009/2010 Honor Band information.
Rampart has had students selected in the past for the following honor ensembles: Colorado All State Band
(UNC / grades 11-12) | Colorado All State Orchestra

Music is available in the band room usually in May for students to work on during the summer and with private lessons. Interested students should check with the director or the parent volunteer coordinator for specific information. Benefits of participating in an Honor Band include: - Learning from international recognized composers, clinicians and conductors.
- A weekend of “lessons”.
- Opportunity to see college campus and music departments in Colorado and meet professors. (Music Scholarships…)
- Meeting other high school musicians from around the state.
- Having a terrific weekend of music-making!
Qualifications Most are open for 9th grade and above. A few limit to 10th and 11th and above. Most require tape-recorded performance of audition music provided by honor band as well as a recommendation from the director. Hotel/motel costs are responsibility of the student besides other expenses. Transportation is the responsibility of the student unless a D20 staff member is available as a driver / chaperone. Most bands meet Thursday – Saturday
