=__**Audition/Clinic Dates & Sign-Up Info:**__= Update Info for Saturday Auditions:
 * All-Region 2012: **

2012 AUDITION RESULTS & CLINIC MUSIC for PRACTICE


 * Building should be open at 7:30 am ( MAP of Bentonville High School )


 * Teachers & Judges are meeting at 8:00 (during this time scales and excerpts will be decided and posted after the meeting)


 * **Students & parents should try to arrive between 8:00 and 8:30** (you may be waiting a bit for the postings but you should be able to find your scheduled audition time during this time)


 * The selected scales (usually 2) and excerpts from the music/songs will likely be posted by 8:30 or 9:00am. 8th/9th grade sight reading will not be posted and will be given to students to play at the audition time.


 * Students will have abou 30mins from the time posted to note the scales and excerpt selections and prepare. The first audition time will begin 30mins after posting. Be at the audition room and ready to go after posting if you one of the first few on the list auditioning.


 * Check to find your audition room before your time. If your time is later in the day and you leave with your parent and return before your audition time be back and ready about an 1hr before your audition time and outside your audition room about 45mins before your scheduled time in case the schedule is running early.


 * If you are late to your audition time you will be moved to the end of the schedule and signifigant late points will be deducted from your overall score. **DON'T BE LATE TO YOUR AUDITION! : )**


 * The order is usually (7th Grade: Scales, song excerpts), (8th/9th Grade: Scales, song excerpts, sight reading).


 * Once you enter the audition room be sure not to the judges who are behind the curtain. They will deduct points if you speak to them in the audition room.


 * Do your best and play confidently. If you do your best that is what is important and not whether you pass the audition or not. It is a learning experience and you will be better for having participated. 8th graders especially have a difficult task competeing with 9th grade for chairs and often times the 8th grade students do not get chosen until thier 9th grade year for clinic orchestra. Auditioning in your 8th grade year will make it more likely that you will be ready in 9th grade to pass.


 * Remember 7th grade this is your first audition and if you pass, great. If not you will have definately improved as a player by just trying and you will have a much better chance in the future because you auditioned this year.

Good Luck!!
