District IV Honor Band Auditions are on December 8, 2018 at University High on LSU's campus (see map below for directions & parking). Students that pre-registered have been given an audition time, which is below.
Late Registration: Students that do not have a time but still want to audition can late register between 8:00-10:00 am the day of the auditions and pay the $15 late registration fee. What to Bring:
Dress nice, the judge will see you! Audition Times Students should arrive approximately 30 minutes before their scheduled audition time to check-in, warm-up, and find their audition room. Once they are finished auditioning, they can leave. (see times below) Many instruments audition in two rooms. For example, they may play their scales in one room and their etude and sight-reading in another room. These rooms will be next door to each other and clearly labeled. Audition Results Will be posted at www.districtiv.org the evening of auditions. Final Tips! Remember the best way to fight nerves the day of the auditions is to be the most prepared that you can be ! Be sure to spend the majority of your time from now until the audition day on the parts of the music and scales that you don't know, rather than practicing over and over the parts you can play well. Make recordings of yourself playing so you can hear how you sound and listen to the model recordings at www.districtiv.org/middle-school.html. On the day of the auditions, avoid drinking a lot of caffeine or eating a lot of sugar. This can heighten nerves! Dress nice, but make sure you are comfortable playing your instrument in whatever outfit you are wearing. Avoid listening to other people in warm-up or listening outside the audition door. Be confident in what YOU have prepared! Walk in the room confidently, say "Good morning" to the judge and get right to playing. Don't make excuses for mistakes, just play! The judges will be hearing lots of students all day and you won't be the first who will mess up! ‚ÄãAnd finally remember to be... Directions & ParkingINdividual Audition Times
