Arizona Regionals requirements:
|
Arizona has 8 different regions for this purpose. If you qualify with your awesome audition, you will get the chance to rehearse and perform with other awesome students from your region with awesome and fun guest clinicians, usually over a long awesome weekend, at a larger awesomer campus.
The top ranked folks from Regionals would go on to compete for All-State and those who make that cut get the chance to again, rehearse and perform over a long weekend at a designated host site with guest clinicians and more awesome and fancy music folk. Challenging music, lots of nerdy band geeks like you, and some bragging rights if you do well. Sometimes the whole thing means a trip and maybe a weekend stay somewhere pretty. Like Flagstaff or Tucson. Sometimes, you're just stuck in Phoenix. College admissions and grandparents totally dig it and you're probably being required by your band director anyway so try to suck it up and do your best. It's not as scary as it seems and those judges are really honestly rooting for you to do well. |
