January 11-13, 2024

Where:
Grand Wayne Convention Center
120 W Jefferson Blvd
Fort Wayne, IN 46802

$235

Guidelines:
     1. Students who will be in grades 9-12 for the 2023-24 academic year residing in Indiana or neighboring states are eligible to apply.
     2. Individual selections should not be edited or spliced, but rather performed continuously. Adjudicators are more interested in hearing an honest
         performance than a flawless one.
     3. Attention should be given to the quality of the recording. Soloists should be more prominent than the accompaniment (if used), and the site of the
         recording should be as soundproof as possible.
     4. Applicants are encouraged to have their instructors and/or directors review their recordings before submission.

 

Applicant Instructions:
  1. Three audition etude excerpts (snare, keyboard, timpani) will be posted on this site on or before October 10. These will be the same examples used for the Indiana All State Band auditions. 
  2. Prepare at least two of the audition etudes and upload them as unlisted videos on YouTube.
  3. Prepare a four-mallet solo or excerpt of your choice (ISSMA group 1 or of similar difficulty level) that is at least 1 minute in length and upload as an unlisted video on YouTube.
  4. Click on the buttons below to fill out the application being sure to include the video links to your audition excerpts where requested.


       

Additional information:

  1. Evaluation proceedings are confidential and final.
  2. Alternates will be selected and used to fill positions as needed.
  3. Deadline for submissions: Wednesday, October 4, 2023.
