The Wright State University Honor Band Festival is a new event at Wright State University in 2020. It will include a high school honor band, and middle school honor band, and a day of professional development for band directors.

It will also include an open clinic/rehearsal with the Wright State Wind Symphony and Shelley Jagow, Ph.D., and a luncheon with the Wright State winds and percussion faculty.
