Fall 2018 Auditions



It's Audition Time


Auditions for chair placements in the TNHS Band will be taking place on Wednesday 9/12/18 and Friday 9/14/18 after school from 3:15 PM - 6:30 PM 

A sign-up sheet will be posted in the band room starting on Monday 8/27/18 and will remain up for sign-ups until Friday 8/31/18.


All students in symphonic band MUST audition. Once the sign-up sheet has been taken down, any student who hasn't signed up for a time must speak with Ms. Dykes and be assigned a time.


These auditions will be a grade in IC. Any student who does not audition will receive a 0 for this assignment. 


Auditions will be blind (I will not be able to see who is playing), and the requirement are as follows:

  • Scales (have all 12 major scales prepared. I will ask for 2)
  • BOTH All-State audition excerpts 


Chair placement will be based on compared student scores based on this rubric

Scale sheets, fingering charts, and audition excerpts have all been passed out in class. If any student was absent and did not receive these, come talk to Ms. Dykes to get the materials you need.


Happy practicing!
