[Dhsbb-symph] CMEA Capitol Section High School Honor Band 2018 (Update)

[Thomas Slabaugh]

FYI – This is a cool event!

Mr. S


Greetings, colleagues!

I just wanted to share some information regarding an enrichment opportunity that I initially organized to benefit my kids and the kids of the EGUSD, but am now opening up to the rest of the Cap Section:

Wolfpack Music and I are hosting a pair of Honor Band Audition Clinics for winds and brass, featuring the faculty of the CSUS School of Music, and area professionals. The dates are Wednesday, October 11th for brass and saxophones, and October 25th for orchestral woodwinds. The details are outlined on the attached sheet.

If you have students interested in attending, please have them sign up on the following Google Form:

In addition, students should plan to bring their instruments, as the wind faculty will be conducting masterclasses – some faculty may give students supplemental exercises specifically tailored to the audition rep. Additionally, a select handful of students on each instrument will get the opportunity to perform the audition excerpts for the clinicians to coach – the first 5 students indicating on the Google Form that they would like to play for coaching will get to perform.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Subject: CMEA Capitol Section High School Honor Band 2018 (Update)

High School Band Directors,

My name is Patrick Neff and I am the High School Band Rep for CMEA Capitol Section (in addition to being the band director at Rosemont High in Sacramento).

Attached you will find the information packet for the 2018 CMEA Capitol Section High School Honor Band.

Some notes about the packet:

"Auditions Made Easy"

Link to CMEA-CS HS Audition Page:

https://www.bandworld.org/Audition.aspx?eID=187

Please note that this year we will be using "Auditions Made Easy" by BandWorld for mp3 auditions.  You can find audition instructions in the attached packet.

I would advise that you upload to the site with your auditioning students.  This will allow you to ensure their auditions have been submitted as well as screen students who are not quite ready.

With the use of this website it is no longer necessary to bring individual CDs to the listening session.  If you are unsure if something was submitted correctly email me and I will happily check and confirm.

Audition Listening at Rosemont

For the audition listening session on Monday, December 4th please park in the front parking lot of Rosemont High School.  The rehearsal hall will be open and on your left hand side.

I am hopeful to have a laptop cart we can use to access the "Auditions Made Easy" site, but if you can please bring a laptop just in case.

At the audition listening I will share the admin log-in for the "Auditions Made Easy" site and directors will split up with laptops as in years past.

Applications

We are returning to all paper applications.  Both the director and student applications are attached in the packet and PDFs will be accessible on the CMEA-CS website.

Notes on Trombone and Percussion Audition

We replaced some of the All-State excerpt for trombone to avoid passages in tenor clef. Please let your trombone students know that their two excerpts are from different pieces, with the second being from Sonata in F Minor by Georg Phillip Telemann (same piece used for the bass trombone audition, different passage).

This year we are bringing back a mallet specialist role in addition to general percussion.  Mallet specialists will complete their own audition and DO NOT need to submit a separate general percussion audition.  Both will need to submit the scale requirement for mallets.  Thank you to the percussionist-directors in our section for your input.  We are hopeful this change will encourage more percussionists to audition.

SCHEDULE

We are returning to the format we used before last year, with Cosumnes River College and Sheldon High School serving as our rehearsal and concert venues.
