2020 Archdiocesan Honor Band (HB2020)

Welcome!

This is the official blog of the 2020 Archdiocesan Honor Band (HB2020).  My name is Michael Norton, and it is my privilege to direct the HB2020.  I had the pleasure of directing the Festival Band in both 2017 and 2018, and I am eager to see some of those band students from those two ensembles again who are now part of HB2020.  You are all part of a very unique ensemble, and we are in store for a terrific program of exciting and enjoyable band music performances!

  1. Hi Mr. Norton, good to be working with you again. See you in January! In the mean time, I noticed my name was misspelled - it's Ferrante (ante, not ente). Thanks! Andrew
