A singular audition/application will be used for both. All-State and All-Northwest will be held in Bellevue on the same weekend. The following information and requirements apply to both MENC All- Northwest and Washington All-State. Program overview All-Northwest honor groups include Band, Orchestra, Mixed Choir, Treble Choir, azz Band and azz Choir. All-State groups are Concert Band, Symphonic Choir and Symphony Orchestra. The entire application and audition process will be done online and includes a screening at the state level and ultimately the Northwest level for placement in groups.

Cramer, All-NW Band Andrew George, All-NW Orchestra Richard Bella, All-NW Mixed Choir Ryan Holder, All-NW Treble Choir Robert Washut, All-NW azz Band Christine Guter, All-NW azz Choir Carolyn Barber, All-State Concert Band ames ordan, All-State Symphonic Choir Gerard Schwarz, All-State Symphony Orchestra Eligibility Teacher Honor Groups are organized expressly for students of classroom MENC member educators only.

Students interested in applying in more than one category will need to submit a separate application, payment and recorded audition for each area. By applying, all students, parents and teachers agree that if selected, students are required to attend all rehearsals, and remain with their honor group from check-in through the concert. Placement: Female singers chosen for All-NW will be assigned by management to either Mixed Choir or Treble Choir. Those selected in winds and percussion will be assigned to band or orchestra.

5 RECORDING THE AUDITIONS ON A COMPUTER First, if you already have a digital recording system that works for you, keep using it. ust make sure that the resulting files are.mp3 files. If you ve never created digital recordings with your computer, you should, at little cost, be able to create digital recordings and submit them online. Procure a microphone with a 1/8" ack. It may cost $10-$40 at any computer store (e.g. Radio Shack, Best Buy, Circuit City) or a music store that serves computer needs. Your building or district tech support may have extra microphones available for you to use at no cost to your budget. Plug the mic into the mic ack on the computer. It usually has a microphone icon next to it (often colored pink). Open your audio recording program. 1. Windows: Sound Recorder is on all Windows machines start/all programs/accessories/ entertainment may be the path to find it on many machines. Note: Older versions of Sound Recorder may have a recording limit of 60 seconds per track. Students will not be penalized if the recording shuts off after one minute. 2. Mac: The ilife Suite, included with all newer imacs, includes Garage Band. Older Macs have SoundTrack. Record each exercise. Each exercise of the audition needs to be a separate file. We recommend including the audition- track number as a part of the file name. Save each exercise as a separate track with a title that makes sense to you (ohn Smith Tuba Track 1, ohn Smith Tuba, Track 2, etc.). Each student will have 2-5 files created, depending on the category. Listen to each file to make sure it recorded with good sound. Save these files in a logical location on the computer. Remember, the resulting file must be in.mp3 format. Itunes is a great tool to convert various audio file formats to.mp3. Download Itunes (a free program), import the audio and convert the files to.mp3. Still need recording help? Remember your logical help resources: tech-savvy music teachers or other teachers in your building, building and district tech support, tech-savvy students (an especially good resource!) and other music educators in your region. And remember, we are providing technical support as well. Your tech expert s contact information is on your application page.
