All 7th and 8th grade performance music students have the opportunity to audition for the District III Middle School Music Festival. The District middle school teachers and I collaborate to provide auditions for a large regional band, chorus, and orchestra. We hire excellent guest conductors and organize a 2-day festival and culminating concert at an in-district school. Drawing from over 15 Chittenden County middle schools, this festival brings together motivated middle school musicians and provides a memorable, motivating, and valuable musical experience for all.
DISTRICT MUSIC FESTIVAL: a student can choose to audition for the District Band in November during their regularly scheduled solo playing assessment. If selected, students will attend the Festival on January 30 & 31, 2026.
Each student must prepare a required solo and scales for their instrument. More details when the school year starts!
DISTRICT III Jazz Festival: by nomination, selected Stage Band members represent SCS at this smaller one-day Festival in the spring at a local middle school (TBA) in April, 2026. The regional jazz band performs a concert that evening. More details in January 2026!
