Colorado All-State Band has a strong tradition of encouraging excellence in our state’s high school band students.

The Colorado All-State Band Festival selects top high school students in the state through competitive auditions. These musicians rehearse together at UNC with guest conductors for multiple days in 2 large bands and perform together on an exciting finale concert. All-State Band is a significant achievement for participants and high-level musical experience that we get to host every year in collaboration with the Colorado Bandmasters Association.
