**Students new to Magnet High School String Orchestra or Chamber
Orchestra should make an audition recording of Set 1 All-State audition
material. Audition recordings are due no later than June 15, 2012.
**When making recordings for auditions, playing tests, mid-term
tests or final tests, observe the following:
Recordings can be audio OR video sent from your phone to my iPhone using
voice memo via text message or email. It's best to record each piece and each
scale separately if you plan to send them by email or text message, keeping
the file as small as possible.
Recordings can be turned in using a flash drive, YouTube, YouSendIt, DVD
or CD. Make sure your CD, DVD or flash drive recording works in at least two
media players. Do not use cassette tapes. Do not record using your phone and
expect me to listen to it on the spot.
**String Orchestra students should record Set 1 of the All State
audition music to audition for chamber orchestra, and Mid-Term/Final playing
tests. String Orchestra final playing tests consisting of this All State
material can be labeled as such and used as your audition recording for
Chamber Orchestra.
Chamber Orchestra students record excerpts from the Concerto Concert
pieces for the Mid-Term playing test.
After All-State auditions every September, both
orchestras begin work on Set 2 of the All State audition music.
