Modified Region 3 Junior High String Ensemble Audition
Solo and Scale Requirements for 2019-2020
Students choosing to audition for the Region 3 Junior High String Ensemble may choose to follow the modified audition requirements listed below rather than prepare the full requirements as published for the All State Intermediate Orchestra (ASIO).
The required scales are the same as the All State list. However, the ranges have been reduced for the Region 3 auditions. The violin, viola, and cello scales must be played a minimum of 2 octaves instead of 3 octaves, with the student having the option of playing the 3rd octave. The scales for the bass will be 1 octave minimum with the option of playing the 2nd octave.
The required solos are the same as the All State list. However, Region 3 may not require the entire solo; the required sections to prepare are below:
Violin: Concerto – Mvt. 1 – Beginning to Meas. 76 – Solo sections only – No Tutti
Viola: Concerto – Mvt. 1 – Beg. To letter B; Mvt. 2 – Meas. 7 though 25
Cello: Danse Rustique – Beginning to double bar at Measure 50
Bass: The Elephant – complete solo
If a student is accepted into the Region ensemble and plans to audition for ASIO in March, the student MUST prepare all scales and solos for that audition as listed in the All State requirements.
