Audition Information
 
Student Instructions
·      Students should be familiar with the audition requirements.  Each student auditioning for All-State should conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times.
·       Audition times have been emailed to each band director.
·       Registration procedures:
  • All Students must be registered at the registration table by 10:30AM
  • Go to the registration desk (cafeteria) to sign in.  Students will receive an audition card and a 4-digit student ID number on a label that must be worn on the student’s shirt throughout the audition process.
  • BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR AUDITION CARD!!!!  Do not fold or write on the card.  Any damage to the card may prohibit the scanner from reading it properly or reading it at all.
 
Warm-up
A warm-up room (cafeteria) will be provided.  Do not play in the hallways at any time.
 
Audition:
  • Arrive at your audition room before your scheduled audition time.  Upon arrival, a runner will escort you in to the audition room.  Realize that you may be ushered directly in to the audition room or you may have to wait a few minutes but the audition times should run close to the published schedule.
  • The runner will match the number on the name tag with the number on your audition card.    
  • SCALE/SIGHTREADING ROOM (NON-PERCUSSION): DO NOT SPEAK WHILE YOU ARE IN THE AUDITION ROOMS.  All communication will be between the runner and you.
  • No music or scale sheets are allowed in the scale room.  You may leave any items with the student runner in the hall.               
  • The student will begin playing the scales when they receive a signal from the runner.
  • Students should perform scales according to the following written order: C, F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, B, E, A, D, G.  A scale order sheet will be provided on the stand in the audition room.
  • Students that do not pass the required number of scales will be notified by the runner that their audition is over and the student will not progress to the second room.  High school students must pass 7 pairs of major scales and their associated arpeggios.  Middle school students must pass 5 pairs of major scales and their associated arpeggios.
  • If the student passes the scale requirement, they will then sight read in the same room.
EXERCISE ROOM  (NON PERCUSSION)
  • After the student completes the scales and sightreading they will move to the second audition room.
  •  Students may bring their own music into this room or the exercises will be provided on the stand.
  • The runner will verify the number on the student's shirt matches the number on the audition card.
  • Students will perform the "Lyrical" exercise first followed by the "Technical" exercise.
  • Upon completion of the prepared exercises, the runner will excuse the student and the audition is complete.
PERCUSSION
  • Percussion students will audition in two rooms.  The first room will be the mallet audition.  Upon passing the mallet scale requirement, they will play the mallet exercise and mallet sightreading.   After completion of the mallet room, the student will move to the Snare Drum/Timpani audition room.  A maximum of two judges will be in each room to communicate and guide the percussion student through the audition process.
