CDMMEA Senior Festival Fall Audition Update
Dear Central District Educators,
CDMMEA, in an effort to still provide opportunities to student musicians in these difficult times, has decided to hold virtual auditions for Senior High.
In order to offer this opportunity, there are some details that are different from previous years. Students will submit a video of themselves performing the required piece. (Check the website for the audition list assigned sections.)
In addition:
-There will be no scales or sight-reading required for wind instruments and strings
-No auxiliary percussion requirement
-No improvisation option for jazz auditions
-Vocal solo only
-No sight reading, scale or tone matching
The timeline for auditions is as follows:
October 28st by 8pm: Audition Registration (Online only)
November 12th by 8pm: Video submission deadline
First week of December: Students will receive results
