About WSMA Middle Level State Honor Band

http://www.wsmamusic.org/ml_honors

Mrs. Stevens will hand out requirements in November, your solo in December, you must bring your money to school so Mrs. S can register you by the deadline (bring by Feb. 2nd), and your audition is in April!

What/Where is it?

This is the most prestigious honor band in the state. Students throughout Wisconsin audition for a spot in this ensemble, so it is very competitive, but don't let that scare you off! Participation in this ensemble is extremely rewarding and quite the adventure!

Your audition is wherever you select but Appleton is usually the best location for us. You and your family are responsible for transportation to your audition.

Upon admission to the ensemble, students will receive music, prepare it in advanced, and work at a short summer camp style rehearsal session. Students will then get back together just before the concert and will perform in Madison, Wisconsin!

When is it?

Registration for students this year does not open until December with auditions being in early spring.

Audition Requirements?

Students will need to complete memorized scales, chromatic scale, and a solo.

Students who participate in solo and ensemble are encouraged to work on a solo to make preparation for this audition easier.

Print of the sheet of your instrument for specific instrument requirements. Scales are even printed for you to help you extend your range.
