Participation in orchestra by wind and brass students will be determined by their auditions at the festival on June 14.

Piano students, you must complete and submit the audition form below.
SENIORS: Audition materials will be the same as for Montana All-State. These materials are currently being revised by MHSA. They expect to distribute them statewide some time in January. Keep checking back if they are not linked here!
All piano only students should be aware that they may be asked to help out with a large ensemble (Band or Orchestra) in order to fill out their week at Red Lodge. Most often, the final Saturday and Sunday student musical activities are the large groups only.
