Student Audition Information
When you arrive at the
contest - Please go to the check-in table
first. During the judges’ meeting, the
students will need to sign-in in the gym foyer, get
an auditioner label, then find
their audition room. Students then need to
gather in the gym for warm-up until an announcer calls
for students to begin auditioning.
DNAs - When
you get to the auditions, please give a list of DNAs
to the host.
Conflict Round -
There will be a conflict round on Friday and
Saturday. This round is for students that need
to leave early. You must get a Conflict
Pass for your student at the check-in
table. After all conflicts have auditioned, we
will start the regular auditions.
Please do not have your entire band
audition during the conflict round.
Only students with valid conflicts will be
allowed to play during this round.
Late Registration - We
will allow a few, but please do not expect to
late register more than one or two. You must get
a Late
Registration Pass for your student at the
check-in table. If you have late
registration or conflicts - please
be early to take care of these problems.
Student Supervision - It
is very important that you have a parent or
adult chaperone to supervise your students during the
auditions. It is your responsibility to have
someone to watch your students while you are
judging. The host school is not responsible for
student supervision.
Judges and Monitor
Instruction Sheet - Please make
yourself aware of this information. It will help
auditions get started quicker.
Audition Procedure - Conflict
Round and MS Auditions - students play all music cuts
required . HS regular auditions will have two
rounds - 1st round: scales and slow etude; 2nd round:
fast etude. Percussion will audition in three
rounds - snare, mallet, tympani - according to state
