All-State Music Festival Audition Pieces
Each year, an orchestra composed of our state’s finest players is formed to celebrate music and the great young talent of our musical community! Participation and seating is assigned according to an audition in which students prepare selected pieces for juried review. We are pleased to offer the audition sheet music required by the Vermont and New Hampshire festivals. If you are looking for pieces from another state, please email us and we can help you source the correct piece.
Note to players: Audition candidates must bring an original score (no photocopies) and it is critical that the correct edition of each piece is performed. Candidates will be eliminated from review if the edition is incorrect or if they cannot show an original score.
