Sponsored by the Massachusetts Music Educators Association, Junior Districts is an opportunity for 7th and 8th students from any school district in Central Massachusetts to audition for a spot to participate in a choir, concert band, jazz band, or orchestra that come together to rehearse and perform a concert in Spring. It is a fantastic opportunity for your student to make music alongside some of the best young musicians in MA, develop their musical skills, and work with great music educators both within Massachusetts and from around the country. 

NMS students were chosen for Central Districts in both 2019 and 2020! 

In order to audition, interested students will need to learn a piece of music selected by CDMMEA. The audition also includes singing intervals (Chorus), memorized scales (Band) and sight reading (both).

Auditions usually take place the first Saturday in February and, if accepted, rehearsals are two Wednesday evenings in April, with the concert taking place in late April or early May. Exact dates and times will be shared by Mr. Goguen or Ms. Hammer and can also be found on the CDMMEA page. 

Please note, there is an audition fee for anyone interested in auditioning, as well as a registration fee if accepted.
