NCDA Honor Band Auditions

Audition Information:

NCDA auditions take place on Saturday November 7th at Owasso High School- East Campus. Click HERE for a Google map to the school.

Because the band directors will all be serving as judges, we will not be able to supervise students. Parents are responsible to take students to the audition. There will NOT be a school bus provided. 

Auditions will take place at the East Campus (main building). Concessions will be in the Ram Cafe.

• Playing order is randomly selected by computer and posted in the warm-up area at 8:30. Students should visit this area first. Once you know your time and room number, go to your room to find out your cuts of music for the audition. 
  • Percussion:  You will start in the keyboard room and timpani room, then move to the snare room where you will also sight read.  A Walkthrough Video will be posted as soon as we have it. Check here for updates.

What to wear:
Students may wear normal school clothes for this audition. We do ask that students wear Jenks attire if they can, so we can identify them if needed. The judges are behind a screen, so they cannot see the students.

What to bring:

Students need their instrument, NCDA music, a pencil (to mark cuts and the scales), and a wire music stand with your name on it if you own one, as it would be helpful in the warmup area. They can also bring money for concession areas.

What to do:
Students should arrive around 8:30am. Playing order will be randomly selected by computer and posted in the warm up area (gym). Students should find their playing number, audition time, and audition room.  Then, students should go to their audition room and sign-in next to their number.  Tryout material (etude excerpts and chosen scales) will be posted next to each room by 8:30am. Use your pencil to mark the cuts on your music and to indicate which scales you play. Students who miss their audition time will not be allowed to try-out late. If for some reason a student must play early, they should report to their room as early as possibe to squeeze in when they can.

Results will be posted outside of the gym as each room finishes, or will be sent out Via Canvas at the end of the day.
