Region Band Audition Entries

Region auditions are just around the corner.  Please see the Region Band Entry Form on CHARMS for details.

It is an expectation that students in Wind Ensemble audition for Freshman Region (9th grade only) and High School Region (all grades).  Region Orchestra is optional.  Students who do not audition run the risk of losing their position in Wind Ensemble to someone from another band who does audition.  All Wind Ensemble students regardless of audition status will be tested on the music during the 2nd 9 Weeks.  This will determine second semester placement and chair order.  While the Region audition results do not determine the placement or chair order, the results are taken into consideration with the tests taken during the 2nd 9 Weeks.

Students in Concert Band should not audition unless they are taking private lessons and a director has approved them to audition.

Symphonic Band students should only audition if they are taking private lessons and want to be considered for placement in Wind Ensemble for the spring semester.

The Region Band Entry Form is due this Friday, October 31!  Please include your entry fee payment at that time.  If forms are turned in without payment, the charge will be added to the student’s Charms account and to the campus fine and fee list.  Signed forms (with both parent and student signatures) are required before students can be entered in the audition.  Forms turned in after October 31 will have a late fee of $15 per audition added (as required by TMEA Region 17).
