In keeping with its goal of outreach to the community the Twin Ports Wind Orchestra (TPWO) has established several Honors positions that are offered to area high school musicians. Area high school band directors are invited to send some of their students to rehearse and play a concert with the TPWO. This is a unique opportunity for the students to participate in an adult band and share a music making experience with some of the Northland's finest musicians. The students, the band director, and the school's music program are given special recognition during the TPWO concert.
