Address is:
Woodruff High School

Dear Parent or Guardian,
Your child has been selected to audition for region band. Audition location are attached. If your child makes region band they will be performing at Converse College on February 21st and 22nd.  I will notify all students of their results within a week of their audition.  Students who score high on their auditions will be eligible for an all-state audition on January 25th at Lexington High School. I will notify students who will be eligible for an all-state audition after region band results are in.  If you have any questions please email Mr. Gibson.
 Please arrive at Woodruff High School in Woodruff SC an hour before your audition on Saturday January 11th 2019. 
Some additional information:
  • All students will need to have a paper hard copy of the audition solo. Students may not read the solos off of electronic devices in the audition room.  Photocopies of solos will not be provided at the audition site – students need to be prepared and bring their own copy.
  • All students should arrive at Woodruff High School one hour before scheduled audition time.
  • Upon arrival at Woodruff High School, follow signs to locate warm-up room and audition room(s).
  • No one will be allowed to play their instruments except during the audition and in the warm-up room.
  • When ready to audition, all students will need to check in with their audition room page ten minutes prior to their audition time. Ask your room page if your audition is completed in one or two rooms. Once inside the audition room, students will sign in on a signature list outside their audition room.
  • Students must have their audition ticket with them to audition. 
  • Parents are to stay in the warm up area and wait for your child to complete the audition.  
  • Do not call or contact Woodruff High School with questions or requests for travel directions. Travel directions are available on the next page. If you have any questions concerning auditions, ask Mr. Gibson.
  • Sign up for the CMS Band REMIND 101 if you have not done so already. 
Please notify Mr. Gibson if transportation will be an issue. It is expected that students are to be taken by a parent or guardian to the event. No buses will be provided to the audition site.  
After your child has completed the audition you may take them home.
This is a great opportunity for your child to learn and grow as a young musician.   If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call or email.
