All-State Band
Auditions Auditions are happening for the 16th annual MSBOA Middle School All-State Band. Scripps has been represented in the All-State Band 14 times, involving a total of 33 students. They had a great experience playing with the very best in Michigan. This year, due to COVID-19, the All-State Band will be an honorary ensemble only and will not meet to rehearse or perform. o
$16.50 application fee This fee is nonrefundable. o
Please inform Mr.
Crimmins if you cannot afford the fee. You need to
prepare a short musical selection
and a list of scales which you
will receive before the audition window begins. You already know most of the scales. Private lessons
are helpful to assist you in preparing your material. You may ask your
teacher for a list of private
instructors if needed. Many private
teachers are providing virtual lessons due to the pandemic. You will “live record” your audition at home between Oct. 1 and Oct.
25. o
You will do this following an email link to the audition website. o
“Live record” means that once you start the recording, you cannot do
another take. It is a one-time shot, like a live, in-person audition. o
Mr. Crimmins will provide instructions before the audition window
opens. You will find out
in late November if you are selected for the All-State Band. You must register to audition by September 25th. |
