I was just sent info on All-State and I wanted to relay it as soon as I could. Please see below for all info. (including times).
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 will be emailed to each band director by Tuesday, January 4th.
● Registration procedures are as follows:
● Registration is in the AHS Coliseum from 8:00am and 10:00am.
● All students must register by 10:00am and REMAIN ON CAMPUS.
o Go to the registration desk (Coliseum) to sign in. Students will receive audition
cards and a 4-digit student ID number on a label that must be worn on the
student’s shirt throughout the audition process.
o All MS AND HS students (with the exception of percussion) will need to
show their exercise book at the registration table. No copies from this
book will be allowed in the auditions.
o BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR AUDITION CARDS!!!! 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 Information:
o Arrive at your audition room before your scheduled audition time. Upon arrival,
a runner will escort you into the audition room. Realize that you may be ushered
directly into the audition room or you may have to wait a few minutes but the
audition times should run close to the published schedule. (TIMES MAY VARY
drastically if multiple students that have registered do not attend the auditions.
For this reason, students DO NOT need to leave campus once they have
registered.)
o The runner will match the number on the name tag with the number on your audition card.
o SCALE/SIGHTREADING ROOM (NON-PERCUSSION): DO NOT SPEAK WHILE
YOU ARE IN THE AUDITION ROOMS. All communication will be between the
runner and student.
▪ 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.
BELOW IS A MAP AND AUDITION TIMES. I will send these out as paper copies with the students Thursday too!
