All-State audition material...

Hi All-State auditioners. All State materials will be due at the end of September, or beginning of October - and, since we start late this year, there won't be a lot of time to get these recorded at the beginning of the year. You may use school equipment (CD burner and/or MP3 recorder) to get your materials prepared. Here's the link to the audition materials, followed by the list of materials themselves - your private teacher can get the materials to you... if you need help, please let me (Ms. S) know:
