Audition music is now available for students who want to try out for OMEA All-State and NCDA Regional Honor Bands. If you do not own these books containing the audition etudes, we highly recommend that you purchase them. It is a great resource to have in your personal library. Audition music for OMEA, NCDA, and Concert Band Auditions were passed out on the first day of school, so all students should now have the audition material.
