Band Parents,
Seasoned 8th grade students and parents that
have been through this last year understand how Region and All State auditions
and scores work. This hopefully will serve as a tool for those new to Honor
Band auditions for Region 4. It is my hope that this will help you interpret
the Region Wind and Percussion Results determined by the judges after Region or
All State auditions.
School of the Arts is in Region 4- There are 5 Regions
in SC. The scores that you will be seeing are considered the UNOFFICIAL Region
Results for the Wind and Percussion only for our school. Each of our students
auditioned and their computed scores ranked the band student based on their
junior scales, band terms, chromatic scale, the solo for their instrument, 2
sight-reading pieces, and overall tone. There are 2 judges in the rooms for the
chromatic scale, solo, and sight-reading. That is why you will see Chrom 1 and
Chrom 2, Solo 1 and Solo 2, and so on... on the UNOFFICIAL scoring grid for our
school.
All 7th and 8th grade band
students are in the junior band. The grid is listed in instrument order and the
student is listed by their rank within Region 4. The “Y” in the Call back
column lets you know that they have made the call back to audition for the All
State band. Audition times will be sent out once the band directors have
received them. You must provide your student’s own travel to and from that
audition. https://www.bandlink.org/all-state-band/rosters/ Be patient for those rosters to be announced.
As you continue to follow the grid across for your
student each column has a score. This is an interpretation of what is in those
columns and how the final score for the student was computed. The total Region
score is out of 200 points. If the student has a Region score lower than 75
points they did not receive ranking in the Region.
The junior scales are scored with a max score of 30.
The terms are scored with a max score of 10.
The chromatic scale is scored with a max score of 5,
(2 separate scores, 2 judges).
The solo is scored with a max score of 30, (2 separate
scores, 2 judges).
2 sight-reading pieces, Example 1 and Example 2, both
individually scored by 2 separate judges with a max score 15 on each example.
Tone judged by the 2 separate judges to a max score of
15.
The
amount of students chosen for the Honor Band is determined by the suggested
instrumentation set forth by the SCBDA.
Thank you,
Adina Garner
