These are large files and take awhile to download. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to download and read the files.
***All-State Excerpt Cut Information***

This information will include: The order of taping, all etude excerpts, and all repertoire excerpts. All information will be listed in the order for which it will be recorded. Please have your students organize their material according to the website!
Again, check the website weekly for bowing changes and errata.
In order for a student to audition for all-state they must have auditioned at the Region level. If selected for one of the Region Orchestras, students must fulfill all obligations of the Region Orchestra.
