All-State Tryouts

Students auditioning for all-state,

With the break coming to an end, I hope that you have been practicing. The break flew by and all-state try-outs are quickly upon us. Auditions will be held at Jacksonville High School on Saturday, January 10, 2008. Yes, that is the Saturday after we return from the holidays. With the number of students we have signed up it will be the responsibility of the student/parents to get to the audition. I suggest that a few of you get together and carpool. Last year several students did this and ended up having a great experience.

Registration is at 8am. Students will sign up for a number, audition and after each student auditions the results for that section will be posted. Typically students audition and then go eat lunch, then come back to see if results are posted. Remember that if you do not make all-state you may make the District Honor band. They use the same audition for both.

You will receive more information about registration on the Tuesday we return to school.

I hope that each of you have had great progress practicing over the break.

(Before you go to the audition, each student participating must pass off their scales. The best time to do this is in the mornings. See Ms. Todd to set up a time.)
