Concert & Jazz Ensemble Placement Auditions are LIVE!

5/10/2020

All audition placements for concert ensembles and jazz ensembles will take place in a virtual format this year. This is for ALL current winds and percussion students (excluding seniors).

Click here to visit our Flipgrid page to access the grid for both sets of auditions.

If you are nervous about this process, that is okay! Once your video is submitted, it will be hidden from view of everyone else. Meaning, you will not be able to watch any video auditions, including your own. So take advantage of the situation and record yourself in the comforts of your own home, without a director staring at you.

If you have not completed any previous Flipgrid assignments, THIS is the one that you absolutely need to do. There is no alternative assignment or make up date.

The deadline to complete your audition requirements is Friday, May 22nd.

Current seniors do NOT need to complete an audition.

Join Jazz Band!!!

5/2/2020

For all current Pace Band members, the audition process for Jazz Ensemble placement will take place entirely on Flipgrid during the month of May, regardless if the student was in Jazz last year or not.

Please visit our "Jazz Ensemble News" page for more info!!!
