I have given students the All-West TN band audition music and the marked spots (three of them) are listed on my website and we have also passed a packet around. Auditions will be the Monday and Tuesday we return from fall break (Oct. 19 and 20) If you go to www.wtsboa.com and look under What's New, you will find where they posted the junior high audition music and find your instrument and you can print the PDF file if you have lost it, listen to the MP3 file, or click on the SMP file and it will open in Smart Music.  At the top of the opened Smart Music file, you can set it to start and end to the measures of the marked honor band audition spots so that you can isolate those parts and you may also listen to it and slow down the tempos and even isolate it into smaller parts.  Please please use this as a tool to help you.

The jazz band music was made available to students this week to pick up.  Jazz Band auditions are set for Tuesday, Oct. 6.  There are five pieces and I will eventually narrow it down into smaller parts of each piece.  Students need to do a search in Smart Music under Find Music under very easy Jazz Band arrangements and will find the following songs:

Cherry Point, Side Slippen, One Sixty Blue, Power to the Chili Pepper, and It is What It Is.  Listen to these and follow your part......this will help A LOT!! 

Let me know if you have any questions.  I would love to see tons of people audition!
