All-State Senior Band Scales

Scales: All major scales are to be played from memory in any order. The order is to be listed on the audition ticket. A scale evaluation sheet will be used by all judges. If a scale is played incorrectly, it may be attempted at the end of the sequence, if there is time remaining in the two minute limit*. If there is time left, the judge will announce those scales for which full credit has not been given.

* Two minute time limit; except senior flutes, senior bassoons, and senior clarinets will have two minutes and 20 seconds.

Key Signatures: Know proper key signatures of all required major keys, and flats and sharps in the order that they appear on the staff.
