Detailed schedule TBA
Our guest clinicians this year include:
The clinic fee is $25 per student. This includes:
Invoice adjustments/refunds will not be made for any participant cancellations after January 10th.
Middle School Band: No audition required, musicians accepted by Director/Teacher recommendations. Please nominate a maximum of 10 students per school. The percussion section will be capped at 10 players. Be sure to rank your nominations accordingly.
Skyhawk Band Auditions: The ideal audition is a recording of the student performing their state’s all-state audition excerpt(s). Students may submit an audition like the Blue Band requirements below, but they are not guaranteed consideration for Skyhawk Band. For Percussionists: the ideal audition demonstrates your abilities on snare, timpani, a keyboard instrument, or as many of those three you can successfully perform on.
Piano and String Bass students are encouraged to audition as well!
Blue Band Auditions: Submit a short 30-60 second playing sample of your choice. This should be something that showcases your sound and ability; it can be a piece you’re playing in band, a favorite etude, or similar.
Send all registration forms and high school mp3 auditions to honorband@fortlewis.edu.
If you have concerns about these due dates, please contact Dr. Justin Hubbard
Placement in each band depends on what materials you choose to submit, how well you perform those materials, the number of submissions received, and instrumentation required for each group.
For Example:
Music will be distributed electronically via secure links, and students/directors should print copies of the appropriate parts to begin practicing! Music should be available to access by the first week of December.
