Additional Audition Information:
Please remember that students are not required to audition to be in band. Incoming freshmen finishing 8th grade band should automatically enroll in Concert Band. Current freshmen should register for Symphonic Band. Current sophomores and juniors should register for the band class they are currently in. We will adjust rosters with the guidance department after auditions. Only those band students who wish to be considered for Wind Ensemble & Wind Symphony need to audition.

Important note: ILMEA Auditions in the Fall of 2026 will require students to prepare different etudes, but the same scale sheet. The ILMEA etudes will be made available as soon as we have them.
