Current High School Students - Grades 9-11:
​You must have your audition uploaded to Google Classroom by Thursday, April 23, 2020 (11:59pm)
You will need to upload each recording (or send a link to a Google Drive if your recording is too long or will not upload)
​In the case this is impossible, please work out an alternate time with Mr. Cantrell (you must do so before the due date!)
Performance Requirements:
  1. Major and/or Minor Scales - with metronome, as many as possible in 2 minutes (do not exceed 2 minutes).
  2. Chromatic Scale - untimed.  Full range of the instrument (or more).

  4. Etude (see "etudes" below) - Students wishing to be in Concert Band will play the first half of the etude (Play to the Fermata).  Students wishing to be in Symphonic Band must play the entire etude.  There is a recording of the etude to help you.
  5. PERCUSSION: Percussionists should only submit the snare etude.  Mallet submissions are not required (as most of you do not have mallet instruments at home).
