Where: Colleyville Heritage High School – Band Hall
Students should check in at the Band Hall (east entrance of CHHS; door labeled MUSIC)
What:
Woodwind & Brass Audition material:
- Major Scales & Chromatic Scale: Students should review the Colleyville Heritage Scale Performance Standards sheet for scoring rubric and attempt to perform all 12 Major Scales and their Chromatic Scale, full range for their instrument. Students will have 2-minutes to demonstrate as many scales, full-range as possible. Please use pg. 44 in the Foundations of Excellence (Blue Book) for the accepted "full-range" of each scale. The following are guidelines to maximize your score on the scales
- The most important aspect of any scale is a great tone on your instrument!
- The second most important quality of your scale should be correct notes and maximum range you are capable playing.
- The final aspect of your scales is tempo. Tempo should be steady and should allow you to sound your best. Tempo should never be "fast" to show off technique. If you can play all of your notes with a great tone and full range, then you can increase tempo.

- Metronome Etude: Students will prepare and perform the "Metronome Etude" as provided. Read the instructions carefully and perform the etude with your best tone, articulation and musicianship.
