Instrumental Audition Guidelines
All-County Scoring
Each woodwind, brass, string, and percussion student who auditions at our January audition festivals earns a score based on a 100-point system, similar to the All- State audition sheet. At the County level we then add the following points to the level of solo played:
If the student plays solo level 1 then 3 points are added 2 then 6 points are added 3 then 10 points are added 4 then 13 points are added 5 then 17 points are added 6 then 20 points are added
Limits on Solo Levels
All string, brass, woodwind, and percussion are limited as follows at January audition:
Grade in School Music Levels Elementary 4-6 1-4 Junior High 7-9 1-5 Senior High 10-12 1-6 A student may play for a solo evaluation at any music level, but will be considered for All-County ONLY if the above guidelines are followed. If your student is auditioning for placement in an All-County group please be sure you thoroughly understand the information above.
Seating AuditionsAfter selection to an All-County group, each student will receive the concert music which is to be prepared before the first rehearsal. At the first rehearsal, sectionals and/or auditions may be held.
