The date for this event is Saturday, November 22nd. Please read over the details (below) with your student and have your student bring this letter back no later than Monday, September 22nd. When: Saturday, November 22nd 2014. This is an all-day event. We will travel from Crosby to Morehead State University via school bus. Times will be determined at a later time; however, you can expect an early departure time and late return time. Where: Morehead State University, Morehead, KY What: 12th Annual MSU Tri-State Middle School Band Clinic. Students from Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky are selected to participate in this prestigious clinic. Students will participate in an all-day rehearsal with their honor band and perform in a concert later that evening. Selection Process: Because several hundred apply for this clinic, no student is guaranteed a placement. Those interested can either audition or request a nomination from his/her director. Students are highly encouraged to audition because it increases their chances to attend the clinic. Auditions will be held in the band room after school on Wednesday, October 8th from 2:30-4:00. Those wishing to be nominated or audition must check the line below and have this letter signed by a parent/guardian. Once MSU has selected participants, Mr. Stivers will send a follow-up letter. Audition Process: Students wishing to audition must perform: a chromatic scale, the MSU audition excerpts (#80 and/or #99), and one of the two audition pieces for the 2014 JCPS All-County Band. Students will be recorded via mp3 and submitted by Mr. Stivers to MSU after school on Wednesday, October 8th 2014 from 2:30-4:00pm.
