District band auditions is simply an audition to get into the Region Band. The first round was on Saturday, November 9 at West Ridge. There was definitely an air of nervousness in the room of 44 or 42 clarinets. Mostly we just sat and listened to the others play, and it took about 3 hours. I knew there were some minor mistakes and certain tone quality problems but I still think I did fine.
I got 11th place, which was about 8 place better than what I thought I would get. Only the top 12 gets to advance, which is November 16, 2013(today). It seemed almost impossible to get to the top ten; the others were extremely experienced. I think I did fine and got 28th place, but I think its good score. Anyways, I will still come back next year.
District band was a lot harder than I expected it to be. I thought I did fine but actually did awful somehow.btjiugh congrats on doing well
That was a pretty good score Vincent. Whenever I listen you, I always think you are better than the other clarinets. ☼♫
