2005 All-State Band Requirements

¹  String Bass Players: Students will be selected through the All-State Orchestra auditions for the Region and All-State Bands. Click here to go to the Orchestra site for more information on registrations, scales requirements, and a copy of the solo.    

² Note: Students auditioning will perform for one of 3 types of committees. Single committee auditions will take place in one room; double committee auditions will take place in 2 rooms; and triple committee auditions will use 3 rooms. ALL students auditioning will perform scales first followed by the etude and then sight-reading.

³  Students attending the Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities (Greenville) must audition in their "home region". 

⁴ Tone - This is for beauty, control, knowledge of characteristic sound, and ability to use this knowledge to the maximum effectiveness.

⁵ Etude - Each percussion player is to designate a Major Area (Snare Drum, Mallets, or Timpani), performing the Major Area Etude only.

⁶ Overall Technique for percussion will be the equivalent of the tone score for wind instruments.  The technique score will be given at the end of the audition and will reflect the student's overall technique during the audition.  Technique will reflect, but not necessarily require, appropriate stick control, rudiment playing speed, timpani rolls, keyboard percussion rolls, etc.
