District Honor Band Auditions (7th & 8th Graders)

10/13/2017

 
I would like to encourage our 7th & 8th graders to sign up to audition for the District IV Middle School Honor Bands.  This is a unique opportunity for selected students to perform with outstanding musicians from throughout the Greater Baton Rouge area.  Membership in these prestigious groups is a great addition to any young musician’s resume!  Composer William Owens will even conduct this year’s top honor band. 

Audition Information
  • Date - Saturday, December 9 at East Ascension High School at a time that will be individually assigned to the student TBD.  Be sure you are available for all the rehearsal times and concert before signing up to audition!
  • Audition Fee - $10 pre-registration fee
  • Audition Requirements -
    • Short prepared piece found at www.districtiv.org and in the back of the band book
    • F, C, Bb, Eb, Ab, and Chromatic Scales found in the band book
    • Short sight-reading piece which students can practice for at sightreadingfactory.com

If Selected for the Band
Rehearsals and the concert are held during “Honor Band Weekend” (no school missed) on the campus of Southeastern University in Hammond.  Students spend the weekend overnight there.  The CMS Booster Club provides chaperones and arranges hotel and transportation accommodations.  Students will be required to pay a portion of the hotel fee, approximately $50-75, TBD.

​Students must be present for 100% of all rehearsals and the concert in order to participate.
