All-State Band 2018 Info

9/5/2017

1 Comment

 
Hello PRIDE!
It's that time of year again.  We want highly encourage every student to audition for the District Honor Band & the Alabama All-State Band!  Preparing for this audition is a challenging yet very rewarding process and is one that will only make our band program here at home stronger. 
 
What Is District & All-State?
The Alabama Bandmasters Association hosts 2 "honor band" events throughout the school year.  Participates are selected based on a standardized audition at both the local and state level.  The top scores from every local district make up the various District Honor Bands and the top scores from across the state make up the All-State Bands. 
 
Ok, Why Should My Child Participate?
Making the all-state or district band is something that all of our students are capable of; however, it takes a lot of hard work and individual discipline to adequately prepare for the audition.  The requirements are all elements that our students work on at school anyway throughout the year, but preparing for this audition only makes individuals better musicians, which in turn makes our program better. 
 
Students who are selected have the opportunity to work with world-renowned conductors and other dedicated student musicians.  It's an amazing atmosphere and a lot of fun!  Not to mention that you get to travel to fun locations and get to eat some really awesome food while we're there!  And all the while, you make friendships, connections, and memories that will enrich the rest of your life.  It might also be worth mentioning that it looks REALLY good on a resume. 
 
How Do I Sign Up & What Do I Do?
Interested students should sign up with Mr. Weaver & Mrs. Hammock.  The registration fee is $10.  The deadline to register is December 1st; however, students need to begin preparing NOW if they’re going to be able to truly audition.  The audition date is Saturday, January 13th, 2018 at Albertville High School.  The audition requirements and materials can be found below or on our website. 
 
Tips For Preparing To Audition
  • Everyone wants to be in all state, but the ones who make it are the ones who practice every day. 
  • Get the scales memorized first so that they become “easy”.  So many people spend all their time working on the etudes and never get to play them because they can’t pass the scale requirement.
  • Listen to the recordings daily!
  • Ask for help!
  • Get lessons from a teacher who plays your instrument 
ALL STATE BAND REGISTRATION - $10 DUE DECEMBER 1ST, 2017
AUDITION: JANUARY 13TH, 2018 & ALBERTVILLE HS

·       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.
