Who: All students will re-audition. This will count as the 1st semester playing exam. Regardless if you would like to move up or not.

What: Audition music will be selected from

• Freshman All Region Music (A cut of 1 etude, announced after break)
• Chromatic Scale (As full range as possible, as your most successful tempo)
• 2 major Scales (As full range as possible, as your most successful tempo, announced after break)

When: auditions will happen in band classes with the band directors.

Why: We hear all students at the semester because of the amount of growth that happens in the first few months of high school.

If we feel you have placed in to a different band, there may be a schedule change at the semester. We will work with these students on a case by case basis and understand that schedule changes are not always possible.

*If you will be traveling this week, please make sure you schedule a time before you leave to do your band audition!

We need parent and student support for this event. Brass students who are auditioning cannot volunteer! Parents with a student auditioning, being a Room Monitor is a great chance to be in the room to hear your student! Space is very limited for room monitor positions!

Students: you will receive 6 service hours for this event unless otherwise specified (set up and tear down)

All student volunteers need to wear their t-shirt dry-wick. All parent volunteers should wear PHS Band gear.

There will be a Room Monitor and check-in meeting at 4:30pm on the day of the event.

Any person volunteering with the Mighty Eagle Band in ANY capacity is required to complete a background check with the district before you may be with the band.

Band Parents,

We have a big year planned for our students and we could use your help recruiting sponsorships for our band program! Attached to this email is a copy of the sponsorship application and we would love for you to help share it with local businesses you know and frequent to garner support for our students! And, if your company has a donor matching program, please also consider sponsorship as a family with a donor match!

You can reach out to Ginger Matthews, our VP of revenue at ginger.matthews@prosperband.com for more information and with any questions! All forms are due August 15. Thanks so much for your support of the Mighty Eagle Band!
