Regional Orchestra Auditions January 26th or 27th, 2018
ATTENTION ALL HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA MEMBERS! You have the opportunity to audition for the Southwest Regional Orchestra. You will be competing against students from other high schools in our area such as Perry High School and Imagine Prep to be chosen as one of the members in this approximately 120 piece orchestra. If you are selected, you get to work with an incredible professional conductor, perform high level music, and perform in the Regional Orchestra Concert. When you make the Regional Orchestra, you then have the opportunity to audition for the Arizona All-State Orchestra against students from around the state. Auditions are held Friday, January 26th or Saturday, January 27th @ Sierra Linda HS in Phoenix (audition time slots last 4 minutes and are assigned after registration.) If you are selected to participate, the festival will be held on February 16th and 27th at McClintock High School in Tempe. You are responsible to provide your own transportation to and from auditions and the festival. We can also arrange car-pools as needed.
The cost to audition is $20.00 per student
Students must be prepared to perform two major, 3 octave scales and 1 melodic minor scale as well as their accompanying arpeggios (up to 4 sharps and 4 flats). Sight reading is another component of the audition, and musicians will be given excepts to sight read. The final component to perform for judges are excerpts, which the students were given at the beginning of the year.
If you would like to audition, please return the form below WITH $20.00 audition fee to Mr. Nichols by
Friday, October 27th. NO LATE REGISTRATION CAN BE ACCEPTED. ————————————————————————————————————————————————--
