Today we talked about Region/All-State auditions. Here is the website with all the information:

The Lugoff Band is in Region 3. Auditions are January 11th at Dutch Fork High School, and costs $10.00 per student. Registration deadline is November 8th.
There are two things you need to start doing to prepare:
1) Because we are a homeschool band, there is some extra paperwork we need to fill out. I need documentation of each students family’s SCHSA membership by our Oct 22nd rehearsal. You can make a copy and send it with your student to class, or come with the original and make a copy right there in our rehearsal room.
2) Purchase or borrow the book that contains the required audition etude. This list can be found on the bandlink website. If you are in 7th or 8th grade, look in the audition requirements for Junior Band, 9th and 10th grade under Clinic Band, and 11th and 12th grade under Senior Band.
Here are two more links that will take you to audio recordings of the two new songs I handed out today. Be sure to listen to them both multiple times this week, and follow along in your music while listening for your part!
