MISSOURI ALL-STATE BAND
REGISTRATION & AUDITION PROCEDURES 2016 – 17

Date of Auditions:  Saturday, December 3, 2016
Registration deadline:  November 22, 2016 at Midnight
Set I of the ASB Audition Material
(Please visit the MBA website for revised audition material lists.)

ONLINE REGISTRATION

  • All registration will be done online.  After District auditions are complete, each school director will go to www.missouribandmasters.org and register your school and all students that intend to audition for state on December 3.
  • When registering students, include the student’s home address, phone number and email address.  This information would become vital in the event of a cancellation due to weather.  Do not enter the school address/phone or your email address.
  • Register for BOTH All State Band and All State Jazz Band auditions on the MBA website.
  • Schools will pay for both All-State Band & All-State Jazz registrations with ONE check payable to Missouri Bandmasters Association.

DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION

  • DEADLINE TO REGISTER students will beNovember 22, 2016.  Up until that date you may go back into your school account and add, delete, or edit your school and student information.
  • At midnight on November 22, 2016 the registration process will close.

PAYMENT OF AUDITION FEES / LATE FEES / ENTRY CORRECTION FEES

  • The audition fee is $15.00 per audition and you must pay for all students that have been registered.  If you register 8 students and only 2 actually come on December 3, you will still owe $120.00 for all that have registered.  This is consistent with the district and state solo/ensemble festival procedures.

NO CASH REFUNDS will be made on the day of All-State auditions.  If your school issues you a check to pay for the auditions, please make sure it is for the correct amount.

  • There will be a $25.00 fee assessed to any late entry or correction in any part of the registration.  This fee will be assessed to each correction.  It is a huge undertaking to make adjustments to this process after the deadline.  This fee will be due on the day of the auditions just like the regular fee.
  • Purchase orders in lieu of payment are not accepted by mail or at the audition site.  Make checks payable to Missouri Bandmasters Association, Inc. and submit at audition registration in Columbia.  Credit cards accepted via telephone no later than November 28, 2016.  W-9 forms available by request.  If you have any questions, please contact Kurt Bauche via telephone or email.

CHECK-IN on AUDITION DAY

  • On December 3, only directors/school representatives will need to check in.
  • Upon check in, directors/school reps will be handed a folder with their students’ registration forms and randomly generated audition numbers, your school’s information to verify, an invoice for any fees due, and any other pertinent information.
  • The director/school rep check-in will run from 8:30 a.m. – 11:00a.m. on December 3.

PRELIMINARY AUDITIONS

  • The actual preliminary auditions will begin at 9:00 a.m.  Encourage your students to go into the audition room when they are ready.  All the judges feel that a good audition is a good audition, whether it is at 9:00 am or 1:00 pm.  Don’t let them sit around and wait!  Starting auditions on-time and eliminating down time between auditions is essential for the day to run efficiently.
  • The clarinets will once again be using a different procedure for auditions.  Please read the “clarinet procedures” section on the MBA website.  It appears under All-State Band audition procedures.
  • After the preliminary audition in a particular room is finished, please instruct your student to report to the commons area at Hickman High School to see if they are called back.

CALL BACKS

  • Call backs will be posted using Student Audition Numbers.  Make sure students watch for specific details regarding the location and start time of the call back auditions.  After the call backs are completed, have your student once again report to the commons area.  Students that finish at the top of their section will be called into the office and be asked if they would like to play in the band, orchestra, or maybe the jazz band.  Their name will be announced over a loudspeaker twice and if they do not report in a short amount of time, a coin will be flipped to determine their placement.   
  • MOST, but not ALL, instruments will have Call Back Auditions.  It is important to realize that this also changes from year to year.  Once judges have decided if Call Back Auditions are needed for their instrument, we will make an announcement.  Please be patient as the day progresses.  We make every attempt to be accurate and efficient; however, we do not want to make errors at any point in the audition day process.
  • Inclement Weather Policy:  Review the policy in case inclement weather. The policy is posted on the MBA website.

 

MSHSAA ELIGIBILITY
Please read the following statements in regards to eligibility and home school associations.  This policy was developed in conjunction with the Missouri State High School Activities Association.

  • Missouri Bandmasters Association does not allow home school associations or affiliate registered schools to audition for placement in an all-district honor ensemble or all-state honor ensemble.
  • Missouri Bandmasters Association follows all MSHSAA By-Laws regarding eligibility and responsibility for supervision.
  • The all-district/all-state ensembles are culminating events, sponsored by the ‘organization’ involving MSHSAA member schools, much like MSHSAA district and state music festivals.

Clarinet Audition Procedures

Clarinet Audition Procedures

Missouri All-State Band Clarinet Auditions

Revised: 12/3/14

Background: The past thirty plus years have seen major changes in the Missouri All-State Band audition process. The addition of the Honorable Mention Band, the use of winds in the Missouri All-State Orchestra, plus the increase in the number of students auditioning have been just a few of the demands put upon the process. As a result of these demands and the need to deal with more students efficiently and accurately, the procedure for clarinet auditions will be as follows:

  1. There will be three Preliminary Rooms open at 9:00am with two or more judges in each room.
  2. At approximately 9:45 am, the Prelim Rooms will take a short break to begin posting callbacks.  These will be posted in the lobby and on the projector screen.
  3. The Call-Back room will begin auditioning as soon as possible am in the Little Theater with three new judges. As soon as the prelim rooms have posted their first list of call backs these rooms will resume first round auditions. Additional call-backs will be posted periodically throughout the afternoon. The final call-back sheet will be labeled as such.
  4. Students that have completed their audition in the Prelim Room need to periodically check the call-back list in the commons area. Just because they were not called back in the first list does not mean they will not be called back at all!! Keep checking the call-backs until the final call back list has been posted.
  5. Once the Prelim Rooms are finished and all students have auditioned a final call-back list will be posted. At that time any students NOT called back on any list will be excused and may leave.

Additional notes: Directors please advise your students to proceed to a prelim room in a timely fashion beginning at 9:00am. Also advise them to be available in the commons area to check those call-back lists early and often.
