Xukaniz Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 4 years no all state here also. 3 time all region, 2 being in the top band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyboard_Countessa Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 After 4 years of high school region band auditions and 1 year from middle school: --never made all-state --never made area --never even made region! But to be honest (don't tell my band directors), I never wanted to make region band in the first place. I only went b/c at our school you have to at least go to the auditions to be considered for the top band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebellbrass07 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 yay for learning music at the last minute!! i was 3 away from region this year so maaybe next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie_monster Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I always seem to do really well at working the music up to where I want it to be but when it comes time for auditions it's not there. Call it nerves or pressure or whatever but it just doesn't happen. Therefore....4 years = never made region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireAnnette07 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Well, I think it's an awesome idea to have a thread for people who didn't make it! I've made district and region for 2 years and area for 3--I know that sound weird but 4A's in my region have a separate tryout to advance to area because not enough 4As make region band---but I've never made All-State! I always have a bad audition at these things. Anyway, the bad part is, my school's probably going to be a 5A next year which means I'd have to be in the TOP of my region band to even get my 4th year of Area next year. I made it at 41st out of 51 this year. So basically, my chances of ever making it are very, very bleak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro_euph06 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Freshman Year-Didn't Go (stiil got 51/52--dont know how) Sophomore Year-41/60ish (one phase) Junior-11th in phase 1.

ClaireAnnette07 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Hm, this is kind of an update to my post.....my school (Channelview) did get moved up to a 5A..it was announced in school yesterday when I was home sick. What a bummer (like you guys care,lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterNick Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 well, in my 4 years of high school, I've only made all-region my junior and senior year, but that was after I stopped taking it so seriously. I did get to go to state solo & ensemble on my solo my senior year. When I was touring colleges, all the guys I talked to said that all-state doesn't really make a comment on you as a musician, and now I know what they're talking about. In my college career, I've proved myself a better player than several 5A and 4A all-state members, and I've discovered several musical talents (such as having perfect/good relative pitch). Not to mention that a saxophone player who happens to be an ATSSB all-state member becoming one of the best musicians at our school and who just started his own jazz band. All in all, my point is, if you didn't make it, don't be too disappointed, because you may grow in your musical talents way after high school!

T is for Tuba Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 My freshmen year I couldn't go cause my bro was in the hospital and this year I worked reallly really hard and didn't make it cause I freaked during auditions it was so bad my freshmen beat me I was so depressed....Then I got a 3 at S&E!!!

Xukaniz Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 How do you have it so early? They announce what the music is at the TBA convention in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRtrumpet Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 The music is on a five year cycle. Our assistant director said that 7th graders can have the music for when thier seniors if they realy wanted to. I got it by trying out for the "Brush Country honor band". The try out music is always the region music for the next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
