Welcome!

The MRJH Band program is well-known for excellence and has a rich tradition. Mountain Ridge Junior High Bands have consistently received Superior Ratings at Festivals and have received many honors—these include: the first junior high band program from Utah to have performed at the Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic in Chicago, one of a few junior high bands that have performed at the Utah Music Educators’ Conference and one of only three junior high programs to be invited by audition to the State Junior High Band Festival every year since it began.

ALL-STATE JR. HIGH BAND

All-State Band recordings and applications are due November 17, 2018. This will be a great opportunity to learn music and perform with the best junior high students in the state at Abravanel Hall. I hope many of our students will apply and try out. Being in an All-State Group also looks good on college applications and resumes. Audition materials and application info can be found at this address: https://www.umea.us/all-state-junior-high-band​ For those of you who are applying, record a video of your audition in sections. You can make as many recordings as you want and then submit the best one for each section. Pay attention to every detail (tempos (don’t go faster than you can play it well), articulations, dynamics and of course notes and rhythms). Private teachers are a good resource and I’d be happy to help as well (ZAP, after school, etc). Best of luck!
