BCPS All-County Band, Orchestra, and Chorus

This week, we are collecting a form from each student regarding the BCPS All-County Band, Orchestra, and Chorus audition opportunity. Students have received the form in their music classes, and a copy is also attached to this email.

All students should complete the form and return it to their music teacher by Friday, September 20th. If a student plans to audition, they should circle “Yes, Yes” at the bottom of the form. If the student does not want to audition, they should circle “No, No” at the bottom.

For students who wish to audition for the BCPS All-County Band, Orchestra, and/or Chorus, please review the dates on the form and ensure they are available for all sectionals, rehearsals, and the concert. If selected, it is expected that they will participate. Missing a sectional or rehearsal may result in removal from the group.

The music teachers have been discussing this opportunity and reviewing the audition music in class. The audition music is available on Schoology and paper copies have been distributed in classes.

Auditioning for BCPS All-County is an optional extracurricular activity, and participation will not affect a student’s grade in their music class. However, we encourage many of our students to prepare the music and participate in the audition process.

If parents would like to know more about the audition process (including the audition sheet music), please click [BCPS All County Shared] for further details. Audition videos are due to the music teacher by Friday, September 27th, and will be uploaded to the BCPS Office of Performing Arts by Wednesday, October 2, 2024.

Thank you for your support of our students and music program!
