UMobile Honor Band Features Outstanding High School Musicians

The University of Mobile Honor Band will present a free concert Feb. 26 at 1 p.m. in Ram Hall on the university’s campus.

The concert is the concluding event of a three-day Honor Band camp featuring outstanding high school students from private schools and academies throughout the South who are nominated by their high school band directors.

UMobile’s RamCorps will begin the concert with a high-impact brass and percussion performance of a variety of styles with choreographed movement.

The Honor Band is conducted by Wes Dykes, adjunct director of symphonic winds, and features clinician Daniel Wooten.

Wooten is in his eighth year as director of bands at Niceville High School. He has conducted all-county, all-region and all-state bands throughout the Southeast. Wooten also served for over a decade as a staff member with the Spirit of America National Honor Band and is an active performing percussionist.
