All State and Solo and Ensemble
|
All StateAll State
All State is a competition and is a great opportunity for students to take their playing to the next level. Students from all over the state compete to be part of the All State Band. They choose the very best students in 7th, 8th and 9th grade to be part of this group. Whether you are chosen or not it is a great experience. Many students are not chosen in their first audition, but they gain the experience necessary to prepare and get in on their second try. It is suggested that students auditioning are taking lessons with a private teacher. . |
Solo And EnsembleSolo And Ensemble
Solo and ensemble is not a competition and is a great opportunity for students to play a solo individually as a group and be adjudicated by a professional musician. Students from around the state sign up to be part of this event and there are a number of really great musicians who apply to be part of this event. Most students prepare their music with their private lesson teacher and not their band director. However, I can lend a hand in trying to determine what they may need in getting ready and will also any questions parents and students might have. |
