2022-2023 All-State Orff Ensemble

 

Thank you for your interest in our 2023 FMEA All-State Orff Ensemble! You MUST read the following for success with your student audition.

We want your participation in this process to be successful. The information we are sharing here is simply to get you started on preparing your students for the audition. The downloadable packet will be released by August 1st and that packet has critical information to help you conduct your auditions with ease and validity. You must take time to READ with comprehension what is required. You must follow all procedures, which will require preparation on your part. If you have questions after reading, please contact the All-State Orff Co-Coordinators, Lisa Hewitt and Rosemary Pilonero at Orff@femea.flmusiced.org  

NEW:

• New round to sing, “America, America” (tune of “Hey, Ho, Nobody Home”)
• As we did last year, no Recorder as part of the audition

Be sure you are prepared to:

• Meet the deadline for all membership dues before uploading auditions. (NAfME,
  FMEA, FEMEA)
• Prepare all audition music with students.
• Submit fees and online-generated Orff application form with student/parent signature.
• Secure an Orff-style alto xylophone
• Follow the 2023 audition.
• Record video audition using .mov or .mp4 format.
• Upload your recording(s) by the September 22th deadline.
• Select ensemble preference, if auditioning for both All-State ensembles.
• Contact your Orff All-State Co-Coordinators with questions.

We look forward to working with you and creating a memorable All-State Orff experience with our conductors, Karen Benson and Chris Judah-Lauder. Letters for the principal and to send home are available on the page. See the links. Results will be posted on October 5, 2022.
