Audition Window Times: This google sheet shows the assigned 30 minute window times. 

The All-Region auditions will take place on two dates, depending on what instrument your student plays and I’ve listed that below. Students will play scales, selected parts of their Region Etudes, and sight-read for a panel of judges to have a chance to be selected to be a part of the All-Region Band!

Students have been assigned specific time windows to audition. It is very important that students arrive with enough time to warm-up before their auditions are scheduled to begin!

 

·   There is no required dress code. The judges will not be able to see you. Wear comfortable clothes!

·   Arrive at least 30-45 minutes before your scheduled performance time.

·   When you arrive, check-in with the monitor at your performance room.

·   Find the etude “excerpts” and mark them in your music. Find out what 2 scales you will need to play.

·   Warm-up in the designated area and go to your performance room about 10 minutes before your scheduled performance time.

·   The room monitor will assign you a number. When you enter the room, the monitor will announce you to the judges. They will say something like, “Judges, this is number 15.”

·   At that point, you may start your audition. Remember, you are not allowed to speak to the judges! If you have an emergency such as a broken instrument, raise your hand and the room monitor will speak with you.

 

Please remember, transportation will not be provided for this event. Parents, please be sure students arrive on time for their auditions!
