Good morning,

Live auditions for Capitol Section Honor Band take place at Cosumnes River College this evening at 5:30pm.  If possible please be there a little early to get materials and into your auditions rooms.

At the live audition please adjudicate the same instrument(s) that you did for the recordings.  I will have the audition materials (including fresh tally sheets) for you.

After auditions Grant Parker will lead the sight-reading session.

Some things that are new this year:

1) Parking is now enforced 24/7 and the fee is $2.  You can pay with card.  Please share with your participating students.

2) The practice room and classroom doors cannot be left in an unlocked position.  We will have key cards for adjudicators to access rooms.


See you tonight.  My cell is (916) 947-5466 in case you need to get a hold of me.

Thanks!

Good morning,

Thank you to everyone who participated in the listening session last night.  I think it will be another wonderful year and I look forward to seeing you all at the live auditions.

A reminder that because we are short on euphoniums if you have a strong euphonium player please encourage them to submit an audition by this Friday.  We could use a few more players and their auditions will be considered by our low brass adjudicators from last night.  Please follow up with me if you have a student submitting an audition.  It will be the same process and I will leave our auditions "open" for these students.

Also, even if you were not there last night and have no students participating this year please be sure to join us for our meeting at Cosumnes River College (9:30am on January 13th).  We will discuss ways we can further improve our process and make nominations for future guest conductors.  Attendance is required for participation in next year's honor band.

Good luck on all of your winter concerts and have a restful winter break.  See you at live auditions on Monday, January 8th.

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.
