About the Music for All National Festival For several years before the debut of the Bands of America National Concert Band Festival in 1992, there was a dream of creating and providing a national showcase for outstanding high school concert bands. This dream of BOA’s leadership was buoyed by the support of several icons in music education. Dr. William D. Revelli, whose high school bands from Hobart, Indiana won the National Band Contest of the 1920s and 30s several times, told stories that no one else could tell about the positive impact of that program on music education, and how a national stage could again bring together America’s finest. John P. Paynter, the revered Director of Bands at Northwestern University, hosted the first two National Concert Band Festivals and was instrumental in the planning and design of the non-competitive festival. Gary D. Green, now Director of Bands at the University of Miami, gave enthusiastic input and ideas, as did many other key conductors and educators who were part of those early years of the festival and continue to share their wealth of musical knowledge with the performing ensembles. Today, the Music for All National Festival presented by Yamaha, is a national showcase of the finest instrumental scholastic music. The festival comprises the National Concert Band Festival, the Orchestra America National Festival and the National Percussion Festival, as well as three national honor ensembles – the Honor Band of America, Honor Orchestra of America and the Jazz Band of America. “The events of the Music for All National Festival are the epitome of music festivals in America.” 18 • Music for All National Festival Official Program The invited ensembles and honor ensemble members performing this week were selected through a recorded audition process. The listening panels included many of the most respected music educators in the country. Those selected were deemed to have achieved the highest level of musical performance and artistry. The Orchestra America National Festival is the most recent member of the festival family, launched in 2003. The Orchestra America National Festival is presented in cooperation with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, a significant and unique relationship, with festival concerts taking place in the ISO’s gorgeous Hilbert Circle Theatre. With the Orchestra America National Festival, Music for All provides a national showcase and educational opportunity – and a positively life-changing experience – for string players and orchestras. The Orchestra America National Festival concerts take place Saturday, March 1, with ensemble members participating in the full Music for All National Festival Experience. The National Percussion Festival provides a national forum for performance and recognition for America’s outstanding concert percussion ensembles. Ensemble members perform and participate in the full festival experience. The National Percussion Festival performances are on Friday, Feb. 29 at the Indiana Historical Society. The festival is endorsed by the Percussive Arts Society. The National Concert Band Festival celebrates 17 years in 2008 and serves as a model for non-competitive performance and education festivals nationwide. Concerts takes place Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 28 through March 1, in Clowes Memorial Hall. The Music for All National Festival provides a positive atmosphere that celebrates music-making. All ensembles participate in scheduled audience time, ensuring a sizeable and knowledgeable audience for the concerts. Each ensemble receives written and recorded evaluation from a panel of renowned educators and conductors and a post-concert clinic. Students also participate in instrumental master classes with worldclass musicians. Col. Arnald Gabriel, retired conductor and Commander of the United States Air Force Band, has called the Music for All National Festival the “epitome” of music festivals in America. We’re proud to continue that legacy with the 2008 festival. NEW IN 2009! MIDDLE SCHOOL STAGE In 2007 and 2008, Music for All invited outstanding middle school bands to perform at the festival as honors performances. Coyle Middle School Honors Band from Rowlett, Texas is performing at this year’s festival. In 2009, Music for All will launch a middle school stage, featuring outstanding high school bands and orchestras, invited by recorded audition. Middle school ensembles will perform in concert, be evaluated and get a post-concert clinic, master classes and social opportunities. Join us in 2009 and expand musical opportunities for the nation’s school music programs.
