TMEA Percussion Audition Update

Colleagues,

This email is intended for directors entering students into the 5A/6A TMEA All-Region Band process. Below is an update from the TMEA Band Division on the percussion audition. 

Percussion Audition Clarification

• All percussion students will only upload 2 tracks for their audition submission
• Assignment #1- snare drum etude
• Assignment #2-  two-mallet etude AND four-mallet etude
• students are to record both mallet etudes in one session.
• Clarification- percussion students are to record the 2 mallet etude and the 4 mallet etude in one track (submission). The CANNOT record and submit separate tracks for each mallet etude.
  
• This is only for auditions that lead to an All-State Organization. 
• Percussion scoring instructions for the judges:
• Snare etude = 150 points
• Two mallet AND four mallet etude = 150 points (combined total)

Thank you,
