2018 All-State Orff Ensemble

Audition Information

Audition material is now available for the 2017-2018 auditions. You may begin working with your potential All-State Orff students before they leave for summer vacation. There are several documents to help you navigate the audition process so check them all out. New to the process? Great! I hope you will find the information useful and easy to follow.

2017-2018 Audition Information

Clinicians for the 2018 All-State Orff Ensemble will be BethAnn Hepburn and Roger Sams. More information will be posted shortly. 

If you have questions, you may contact either your District Chair, or me. I look forward to another successful All- State Orff performance.
