ALL STATE ORCHESTRA 2012
2011-2012 Colorado All State High School Orchestra
Orchestral woodwinds required will be — Flute, Piccolo, Oboe, English horn, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, and Bassoon. Those performers who double on Piccolo, English Horn, or Bass Clarinet need to note that fact on your audition form and select a solo to perform in conjunction with your audition on your primary instrument. Please record your doubling solo on a separate audition CD/tape. All individuals who double must audition on their primary instrument to be considered for acceptance. Students auditioning on two instruments should pay one fee of $20.00 if auditioning within one family of instruments, i.e. Oboe and English Horn. Students auditioning on two or more instruments, such as Clarinet/Bassoon must pay the $20.00 audition fee per instrument. Please prepare your audition using the guidelines listed below. Minimum requirements of octaves and tempi for scales are those listed. Woodwind students auditioning for All-State Orchestra will perform scales, the required excerpts(s) and a solo. Please notice the required solos for wind instruments!
