1st Round Auditions

Date: Saturday, October 11th, 2025

Location: De La Salle High School

Room: Music Rooms

Schedule - coming soon!

Audition Process: We utilize a "blind" audition process to ensure fairness, meaning judges will hear the student's performance without seeing or knowing their identity. Students will be assigned an audition number upon arrival. No names will be used with the judge. Students will perform the required scales and etudes with judges focusing solely on tone quality, intonation, rhythm, technique, and musicality. Using a rubric ensures selection is based purely on musical merit and preparation.

1st Round Audition Results

Results for the 1st Round of auditions will be posted here by the end of the audition day.

Audition Process: The 2nd round of All State Auditions is a live monitored recorded audition that will be submitted as an mp3 file by the District Chairperson. The state then judges the recordings using a rubric. For more information visit the LMEA website.
