All-State Band Auditions!

Dear Band Families,

As I've mentioned to all of my classes, the procedure for registering for All-State auditions has changed dramatically this year. My colleagues and I are trying to understand the process and I ask for your patience as we all figure this out together. I have extended the deadline for registration to next Monday, September 23rd.

First, here are the dates:

*Junior Band (grades 7-9)

auditions at Edgewood High School (in Harford County) on November 16th

rehearsals & performance on March 12th - March 14th in Baltimore

*Senior Band & Orchestra (grades 10-12)

auditions at Edgewood High School (in Harford County) on November 23rd

rehearsals & performance on March 13th - March 15th in Baltimore

*Jazz Band (grades 10-12)

auditions by videotape (Mr. Blackman can assist!)

rehearsals & performance on February 20th - February 22nd at UMBC

There is an $8 fee to audition (new this year), and if you are accepted to the ensemble there will be a participation fee of approximately $450.
