Dear Directors,
The All County Orchestra will once again audition for wind and percussionists via CD or cassette tape recordings. The due date for these recorded auditions is Tuesday, October 19th, 2010. Just like last year, we will use the All County / All District Solo as the required audition solo rather than a separate piece of music. This is in hopes that it will inspire early practice for our students who are considering auditions for the All District auditions in January. I thank all who helped me listen to tapes last year and ask again for any available ears to help listen to these recordings.
The clinic will be November 19th-20th, 2010 and will be held at SWGHS.
Can’t wait to see you all again,
Andy
