Region Band and Honor Band Information

Student nominations have been finalized.  If nominated it is expected that your child attends the audition.   it is also expected that your child practices their audition music daily. I will be available to work with the students auditioning in the mornings or after school if they would like the additional help. If by some reason your name was left off the list and you really want to audition you need to talk to Mr. Gibson ASAP. 

Students will play 7 major scales memorized, the aromatic scales prepared piece, and sight-reading. 
The aromatic scale, prepared piece, and sight-reading are "blind" auditions.  This means the judges cannot see the students while they play.
