Frequently Asked Questions
What is All-Region?
All-Region (AR) is an individual competition where students work up pieces of music (called etudes) and perform for a panel of judges. This contest is open to all the middle schools in the area and involves thousands of students. Our middle school region includes so many band students that we split into two zones. If you make it past two rounds you earn a spot in one of five bands and are an 'All-Region Band Member''. This is a huge accomplishment as this group represents some of the best young musicians in the entire state! If you earn this honor you will perform with your group as a member of the All-Region Band.
Do I have to participate in All-Region?
No, only students who choose to participate, attend all events, and meet director standards can participate.
Do I have to participate in AR Sectionals?
Yes, ALL students attend AR sectionals for the first two weeks to allow the band directors a chance to introduce the music and explain the process. Many times students see the music and think it is either too hard or just don't know how to get started. The band staff will go slow and introduce each of the two selections in depth and offer students time to ask questions. At the end of two weeks students who choose NOT to compete will switch to large group sectionals.
When do I have to decide if I want to try out for AR?
Week 2 is the official start, but students can decide one way or the other within the first five weeks of school. Students choosing to stay in will be expected to sign the All-Region Contract, attend all required events leading up to the contest, and pay a participation fee.
What do I have to play for the audition?
Woodwinds and Brass: two scales by memory, chromatic by memory, and a portion of two etudes (using the music)
Percussion, Mallet scale, Snare etude, Timpani etude
