History of Program
*  The Pacific Honours Ensemble Program (PHEP) is jointly hosted by Western International Band Clinic held in Seattle, Washington, USA annually during November and the Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University State Honours Ensemble Program (SHEP) held in Brisbane annually during September/October.    
*  Every year a small group of honor band students from WIBC are selected to participate in the SHEP program in Brisbane. These WIBC students are the only U.S. students to be involved in this prestigious honor band event held at Griffith University.     Artistic Director for the new program,  Australian composer and conductor, Ralph Hultgren says, "We open our doors to fine young musicians from across across the Pacific to come and share our music in Brisbane and the Queensland Conservatorium."
*   The Australian State Honours Ensemble Program brings together the finest young musicians from across the state of Queensland, Australia and the honor students from the US to work under the direction of a team of eminent international and national conductors.
The event is located in the world-class environment of the Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University. Cort will be participating in the program which offers the pursuit of excellence to young ensemble-based instrumentalists in Wind Orchestras in an intensive four-day program that culminates in two gala concerts in the Conservatorium Theatre, situated at Southbank in the heart of Brisbane's arts precinct.

*   In addition, SHEP is represented at WIBC with a fabulous group of honor band students from the Young Conservatorium
