In Maryland, students have many opportunities to audition for state-wide groups, to perform solo and ensemble events at the District and State levels, and for school bands, choruses and orchestras to perform for adjudication.  Making those opportunities available for you students can help “drive” the music curriculum for you.

 

Take time now to note the deadline dates for All State groups for students in grades 7 through 12 and for Solo and Ensemble events for students in grades 6 through 12.  Take advantage of these opportunities for your students. Fill out the All State applications and get them in on time.  Look over the audition requirements and assist your students in the process.  It pays off for every student in your class if even a few of your students are striving for a higher level of excellence. Their dedication, and yours, will give new energy to the entire ensemble.
