26th Annual
Iowa Junior Honors Orchestra Festival
Friday, November 16, 2018
in Ames, Iowa on the campus of
Iowa State University.
Iowa
Junior Honors Orchestra Festival began in 1992 as a way to give younger
students an
all-state level experience. The Festival is sponsored by the Iowa String
Teacher's Association. It is a one-day event, held in the same complex
and at the same time as the Iowa All-State Music Festival and the Iowa
Music Educators Association state convention.
There are two orchestras of equal ability in the festival, each with
about 90 participants. The groups are composed mainly of 8th and 9th
graders, with a few advanced 7th graders. The application process
requires that the violins be at least in Book 5 of Suzuki
or equivalent, violas in Book 4 of Suzuki or equivalent, celli in Book 5
of Suzuki or equivalent, and basses comfortable up through 5th
position. It is an expectation of the festival that the student is
enrolled in their school's orchestra and that teacher
needs to be a member of the Iowa String Teacher's Association.
