Registration Process for Virtual Auditions 2026

See below for the audition process and the signature form.

You will need the following for a complete registration:

• Register all your students. (If you are planning to register your students but your school name is not listed, please email Noah Brown at nbrown@wsfcs.k12.nc.us.)

  • Here are the links to register for All Region Jazz Band Auditions. Remember that early registration is open until December 19.

    • MS Registration

    • HS Registration

    • Here are also a couple of screen shots (permission 1, permission 2) of where Audish asks for permissions. If you click "continue" and "agree" the first time you visit the site then you should be good to go moving forward.

• Mail your audition fees ($15 per instrument).

• Mail a copy of your NAfME card.

• Mail the NCJR-W Signature Form which is below.

• Have all of the above completed and postmarked by DATE TBA.

Once registration is complete, details will be emailed to directors on how your students will need to submit audition videos. 

Student Video Uploads into Folders

UPLOAD WINDOW IS OPEN!! You can upload your student's video recordings from now until TIME AND DATE! 

It is important to know that you will no longer have access to your student's folder after TIME AND DATE. 

I have attached this loom video with directions on how to upload your videos.

To upload a video:

1) Go to the same website you went to register your students for auditions

2) Click on the upload button (purple) to the right of that student's name

3) Click the "+ New" button on the top right in the folder

4) Click upload file, find your file name, click upload

In the video:

1) Please make sure that your student is not wearing anything from their school, or that there is no school identifying information in the video.

2) Click start on the recording device

3) Click play on the backing track (needs to be on a separate device from the recording device)

4) Play the head once (second ending no repeat); chorus 1; chorus 2; improv for 2 choruses

5) The backing track will stop, so then stop the recording - you're done!

**More information will come about judging- but you will have a window of a few days to get with your co-judge to listen to the recordings of students together simultaneously.
