Student Audition Procedures:
Below are the prompts to be used for the 2021-2022 District Band recordings. Students must be prepared to use each of the prompts for their instrument during the recording. STUDENTS WILL NOT AND SHOULD NOT TALK DURING THE RECORDING OF THEIR SUBMISSION. This will allow for anonymity throughout the adjudication process. To aid in this effort students may need two devices for the audition. One device to record and another from which to provide the guided prompts.
Follow these steps for a successful recording:
1. Click on your instrument and READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. You will be making ONE video (not 4 small videos, or spliced videos) Percussion will be making two videos. One for Mallet and one for Snare.
3. You will need to use the script (push play recording ) on the audition procedure page. You will also need to make sure it is loud enough that the script can be heard on your video.
4. Step by step instructions. Have your recording device ready and the script page up ready for use. Remember NO TALKING ON YOUR VIDEO!
The goal is for the student to not speak on the audition video. They will follow the script that is found on the VBODA4.com website.
