Band Audition Materials

Beginning March 20th, we will hear chair placement auditions for next semester (Fall 2023).


The wind audition will consist of the following:

  • Concert E and F Scale

  • Chromatic Scale

  • 2 Etudes


The percussion audition will consist of the following:

  • Scales

  • Rudiments

  • Brief Sightreading


This process helps the counselors plan for arena scheduling, set music assignments for the Varsity marching band, and set the three concert bands for the Winter Concert.

We re-audition for the spring semester in November. Remember - we do not “cut” any student. Everyone has a place in the CHHS Band.


Practice!
