All-State and All-District Band
Solo and Scale Videos for Saxophone
On this page you will find videos
performances of the Honors Band requirements for the North Carolina
All-State Honors Band auditions, including All-District Band auditions.
These are divided by level (Middle School, High School 9/10, and
High School 11/12), and by instrument (alto, tenor and baritone
saxophones). This repertoire is outlined on the NC Bandmasters website
(ncbandmasters.org),
and from the Central District's website (cdba.ncbandmasters.org).
However, be sure to check with your band director regarding
your particular requirement.
For the scale requirements, I have
played through the entire sheet to give you a representation of
all the scales. While you should have all the scales mastered, during
the audition, more than likely the judges will pick and choose various
scales for you to perform. According to the NC Bandmasters website,
Middle School scales are tongued, and the chromatic is slurred.
High School scales can be tongued or slurred, and chromatic slurred.
