All-State Jazz and Show Audition Info

Just a quick reminder that All-State Jazz/Show audition registrations are due by this Friday, Sept. 22. Due to some districts having extended fall breaks we've decided to send the audition materials out a bit earlier this year. Please take note of the Recording requirements for the All-State Jazz Choir Auditions. All-State Jazz Choir Materials (Google Folder)
