All-County music

All-County Music is a regional-level honor awarded to outstanding student musicians selected through competitive auditions within a county or similar local education region in the United States. Students may be chosen for ensembles such as band, orchestra, or choir, and are typically required to perform advanced repertoire under the direction of guest conductors in a short-term honor ensemble setting.
