Our placement auditions for next school year will be held during each student's band class from April 24 to May 5. All current 6th & 7th grade band students are required to participate for a major grade. This audition serves as the individual assessment of each student's musical skills mastered from this school year. Think of this as the individual STAAR test for Band. Click here to read detailed information about the auditions.

Audition results are final and will be posted on Friday, May 12 at 8:00am. These results will be sent to the school counselors for next year's scheduling. Those students choosing to not remain in Band next year will not have their results posted.
