FALL AUDITIONS 2008 All current band students are required to perform an audition for Mr. Kurinsky during the first quarter. Students will sign up for individual audition times in the band room. Results from the audition will count as part of the first quarter grade and will be used to determine chair placement, orchestral involvement, and band enrollment for the 2009-2010 school year. Current 8th graders interested in auditioning for Symphonic Band or Wind Ensemble are also invited to audition. Information about 8th grade auditions will be available later this fall.
