2018-2019 Warren Township High School Bands Audition materials
We are excited that you have chosen to join the Warren Township High School Band Program! Please use the links below, and select the files that correspond to the instrument(s) to be used for audition.
Set A Auditions for 2018-2019 Warren Township High School Bands
Set A auditions are for placement in Symphonic Band I and Symphonic Band II, the most advanced bands at Warren Township High School.
If a student is placed in Symphonic Band I, Monday night rehearsals are a requirement for participation after marching band season. Symphonic Band II does not have Wednesday night rehearsals after marching season concludes. Auditioning on Set A does not guarantee a position in the Symphonic Bands. A strong Set B audition is better than a weak Set A audition.
Requirement for a Set A Audition
1. First 6 lines of the ILMEA Scale Sheet (Percussion are exempt from this portion)
