Students accepting Area certification from their Region shall record an All-State Jazz Ensemble Audition CD per their Regions recording guidelines. Jazz Ensemble students who are recorded for All-State have officially qualified for area jazz ensemble and will receive an area patch. Furthermore, students who record but do not qualify for the All-State Jazz Ensemble will remain eligible for all-state consideration in all other ensembles. The All-State Jazz Ensemble Audition CD should be recorded in one take with pauses between tracks. Instruments will play along with the CD after different tracks are prepared for wind and rhythm instruments to accompany the audition. If the performer is not recorded with CD accompaniment, that entry will be disqualified and the entry fee will not be refunded. CDs shall contain:
