Info: All-District Band and Orchestra Auditions

Greetings!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered or supplied a cake for the ice cream social. All of the groups did an outstanding job and have really made great progress in a short amount of time!

Please make sure to put the All-District Band and Orchestra auditions on your calendar. The auditions will be held at Staley High School this year on Saturday, November 3rd. The cost to audition is $10, which is due by October 12th. If your student is interested in earning a music letter, it is required to audition for the All-District Band (making the band is not required to letter). You can go to https://missouribandmasters.org/missouri-all-state-band for information regarding the audition.

Thanks,

Bret Fischer
