There's no All-District where I am. There's All-County, NYSCAME, and All-State. Since I live in Suffolk County, NY (I believe it's either the largest county in the country, or the 2nd largest...), they just don't have All-District. I've been to All-County (eastern Suffolk, division III for 9th and 10th graders) twice--once on my standard clarinet, and once on contrabass clarinet. I'm going to participate in the NYSCAME (which includes all of Suffolk, and is open to juniors and seniors) mixed chorus...next week actually! And at the very end of this month, I'm headed upstate to be in the All-State women's choir (once again, juniors and seniors). Woot. cool AND...I applied for All-Eastern, and I'm waiting to hear back. : D
Oh yes...when we audition for All-County, NYSCAME, and All-State, we need to prepare a solo, scales (for instrumentalists), and be able to sightread 8-12 bars of music. I hear that All-District auditions just entail scales and sightreading. The competition in NY is mindboggling though, just because of the population and the proximity to NYC. Students here start earlier than most kids in the country too. It kind of sucks, because the standards are set excrutiatingly high. : (

I try out for region in December, I'm pretty sure I'm going to make it. One of the kids in my section last year missed Region by 4 chairs. A couple of other freshmen made all-state(OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!) last year, along with a senior.

As an update to my post in here earlier, I made first chair bass clarinet at district...and being a senior, I'm probably going to state. ^.^ I can't wait to find out for sure.

I tried out for regionals yesterday, and did really well. I had a 247 out of 270, so I have a feeling I definitely made region, and probably am able to audition for all-state as well.

I was early for my audition, so they rushed me in as soon as I got there (the room was running early), and I'm surprised I did as well as I did.

I'm in eighth grade and I made it into All-State for Rhode Island. I don't think there are any All-District bands, or anything like that ,since RI is so small. mrgreen

I got my all state scores today.

My total score this year is more than ten points higher than the score last years first chair got last year. And the piece is harder this year.
