Each fall more than 100 of the Northland's best high school musicians gather at the University of Wisconsin-Superior for the Tri-State Honor Band Festival. The musicians spend the day working with UWS music faculty and guest clinicians. That evening they join university musicians in performing a public concert in Thorpe Langley Auditorium in the Old Main Building.

In recent years the following high schools have had students participate: Ashland, Carlton, Chetek, Duluth Denfeld, Duluth Central, Duluth East, Esko, International Falls, Frederic, Hayward, Hermantown, Ironwood, Luther L. Wright, Duluth Marshall, McGregor, Mellen, Moose Lake, Northland Pines, Ogilvie, Siren, Solon Springs, St. Francis, Superior, Two Harbors, and Washburn.
