High School Virtual Workshop Series

As we have for over a decade, the USA Department of Music provides free recordings (in video this year) to help students prepare the middle and high school All-State audition material. Links to the podcasts can be found below or you can jump to them by clicking here.

Beginning this year, the USA Department of Music is pleased to additionally offer a series of virtual workshops to high school students in preparation for the Alabama All-State Band auditions. These workshops are offered at no cost to registered participants in grades 9-12. Interested students must complete the registration form below in order to be included in the workshop. A Zoom link and password will be sent out to your provided email no less than 24 hours before the workshop is scheduled to begin.

Please direct any questions about the workshops to Dr. Kip Franklin (kipfranklin@southalabama.edu) 

Here you will find free podcasts to help students prepare for this year's Alabama All-State Band auditions. This year's podcasts include videos of each faculty member performing the etudes as well as providing comments and tips to help guide your practice. These podcasts are available for both the high school and middle school audition materials. We hope you find them helpful in preparing for a successful audition!
