Each year, students have the opportunity to audition for performing groups at the district, State and New England levels. Students who wish to audition for these festivals will need to devote time outside of school to prepare both with Mrs. Sweet and on their own. For both Districts and All-State, students audition as a member of a quartet. For New England’s, students prepare a solo or ensemble work from a set list. For All-State, both melodic and rhythmic sight-reading is also required.
Students are responsible for their audition fees. (Districts $5, All State & New England $12 per audition/performance)
If a student is accepted to the concert festival, the Music Department pays the participation fees. Mrs. Sweet reserves the right to decide whether or not a student is sufficiently prepared for their audition.
