Concert Festival Seating

I have finished the seating for Concert Festival and it is posted here:
Concert Festival Seating

A few notes about this round of seating auditions.
-If a student chose not to take the playing test, they received a 0 and will not be going on the Concert Festival field trip.
-If a student took and failed their playing test, they have two chances to improve their grade and be added to the Concert Festival seating list.
-Chair Challenges will take place over the next two weeks.  Students can challenge the chair above them.
-To determine stand partners, the upper odd number sits with the even number below (ex: Chairs 1 and 2, Chairs 3 and 4, etc.)
-The scores for cellos and violas were the closest I have ever seen.  Nice work!  Very competitive.

Any other questions, shoot me a message.  Have a great weekend!

Video Submissions and Solo & Ensemble

SNOW!!!!

Hope you are enjoying it more than Everett is:













Playing tests for Concert Festival seating will start the day we eventually get back to school, but if you are able to record your test at home, that would be amazing.

Send me two emails, one for each playing excerpt, and title them with the name of the piece.  Take your time and record until you are happy with it.  You don't have that advantage at school!

Also, I will have Solo and Ensemble forms available to anyone who wants to sign up beginning next week both in class and on the forms section of my blog.  I need the forms and money back by Tuesday, March 4.  It will be held April 26 at Chesnee High School.  $5 per person per event.  Students may sign up for one solo, one ensemble, or one of each.
