The All Shore Intermediate Band is an honors band, founded in 1958, that is comprised of the finest middle school musicians from Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Members are chosen by audition in November and rehearse during the winter months in preparation for their concert. The 2015-2016 All Shore Intermediate Band is conducted in rehearsal by Katherine Raguseo, and will be conducted in concert by renowned band composer Robert Sheldon.

All Shore Intermediate Band Directors’ Association President Elizabeth Hull writes, “I look forward to The Shore Intermediate Band concert each year, but this year, even more so because of the inclusion of our very special guest conductor.”

“Each year, the Oceanport musicians look forward to the auditions, hoping that they worked hard to earn a seat in the All Shore Concert Band. It is a thrilling experience for them,” states Dianne Ruggeri, band director at Maple Place Middle School in Oceanport and treasurer of the All Shore Intermediate Band. “We are so looking forward to our clinic and concert experience with composer, Robert Sheldon.”

“All Shore Band is an amazing experience that I am glad to be a part of,” says first chair tenor saxophone player from Jackson, Nicole Balsirow.
