All-State Junior Band Scales

Scales: 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.

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