Concert Band Auditions
This semester, concert band auditions will be held on Tuesday and Thursday, August 25 and 27 from 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Tuesday evening will be reserved for percussion. All auditions will take place in the music annex. Because the Wind Symphony was selected to perform at TMEA, those students placed in the Wind Symphony will be expected to play in the ensemble in the fall and spring semesters. Anyone who has a conflict but would still like to audition for Wind Symphony should contact Mr. Shelton as soon as possible.
Audition music will be available during band camp, and sign up sheets will be posted in the music annex. Everyone is highly encouraged to perform in a concert band in the fall semester.
