Dear Directors,
We are excited to release the audition results for the 2026 Quad State Honor Band Festival at Murray State University, February 26-27. We are thrilled to welcome so many of you back to MSU as well as some new participating schools this year and to provide instruction and musical enrichment to your students as a compliment of the already rich musical training they receive from you each day. 

Invoices were linked in the email that went out directly to band directors on Friday, January 30th, 2026. Please refer to that email for payment information, student cancellations, alternates, etc. 
​
EXCITING NEWS:
Our composer in residence, Kelijah Dunton, has nearly completed a BRAND NEW WORK for bands that will receive its world premiere by the Symphony Band! Many of your students will get to be involved in giving this new piece a life! 

 You will find all the information for the festival in our 
Director's Google Drive Folder:                                     

If you have any seniors that wish to audition for scholarships at Murray State, and they have not already setup a time, please contact me at [email protected] right away! We have more time available!
