4. A list of PERCUSSION rudiments and requirements may be found at: http://www.njmea.org. 5. PIANO and HARP are now standard auditions for all regions. Students must audition and be

accepted to a region ensemble to be eligible to audition for All State on piano or harp. A list of piano and harp requirements may be found at: http://www.njmea.org/files/filesystem/PianoHarp.pdf Piano scales will be played in even eighth notes at quarter note = 120bpm.

6. All instruments, with the exception of Traps, will be asked to sight-read. 7. CJMEA now allows students who are accepted to both an instrumental ensemble and a choral

ensemble to participate and perform with both groups. If you plan to audition for both an instrumental and choral ensemble be sure to check the appropriate boxes in the online the application.

Percussion Auditions New this year, the Traps portion of the Battery Percussion audition no longer includes a solo or sight reading. Students should prepare the four traps etudes (tambourine, bass drum, crash cymbals, and

triangle) as well as the brief mallet etude listed with the rest of audition solos. Snare Drum still requires rudiments, solo, and sight reading.

Bass Trombone and Tuba Solos

Note the alternate solo listed for each of these instruments. In both cases, you may choose to prepare either solo. A published original is required regardless of solo chosen.

String Bass

Note that both the Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band each accept a string bassist. Please encourage those students auditioning to indicate these ensemble options on their application. Performing in one of

these groups does not affect All State Orchestra eligibility.
