Junior High Band Placement Assessment Information
Video submission for the 2021 - 2022 Band Placement Assessment excerpts are due NO LATER than Friday, September 3, 2021. Please follow this link to submit your videos:
All 6th - 8th grade band students will be auditioning at the beginning of next year for placement in either Concert Band or Symphonic Band for the 2021 - 2022 school year. These bands will be separated by skill level. This will benefit all students as they will be placed in an ensemble that is appropriate for their level to promote student growth. Hopefully this will alleviate students feeling overwhelmed by music that is too difficult. Also this will provide the challenge that some students need to continue progressing on their instrument.
Please prepare the first two lines of the scale sheet and choose one or both of the etude assignments. You may choose your tempo. I would suggest going very slowly. Just do you best. We realize this is challenging.
The audition materials can be found below. These auditions will take place at the beginning of the school year and students will submit their best video to a Google form. We will have outside judges ranking the students and they will be placed in the appropriate ensemble. This is not something that the students should stress about, but they should take it seriously. If a student chooses not to submit a video, they will be placed in Concert band.
In December, students will have the opportunity to submit another video for the possibility to move to Symphonic band if their ability level determines that that is an appropriate placement for them.
If you have any questions, please contact your child's director.
