The Arts Alive Combined Schools Band Program (AACSB), which includes a Primary and Secondary Concert band program and a Jazz Ensemble program, is pleased to announce that applications for auditions are open.
Membership of the Arts Alive Combined Schools Bands (AACSB) is considered an extension of student participation in school band programs. It is an expectation of membership of the AACSB that students remain a committed member of any music ensemble programs currently operating at their school whilst they are participating in the AACSB. Students act as representatives of their school in this regional extension program.
Please be aware of the following membership criteria for each ensemble:
AACSB Primary Band- Students must be in Years 4-6, enrolled in a public primary school and an active member of their school band program.
AACSB Secondary Band - Students must be in years 7-12, enrolled in a public high school and an active member of their school band program.
AACSB Jazz Ensemble - Aimed at students in Years 6 - 9 (outside this range may still audition), enrolled in a public primary or high school and an active member of their school band program.
We ask that you record the audition in one complete file (scales and pieces) and email it through to artsaliveCSB@hotmail.com by the due date.
In the subject field of the email please put the student's name and the AACSB band that they are auditioning for.
A recording via an iPhone/android/Go Pro is perfect.
If you are unable to send the audition via email you can also post it on YouTube and email us the link. Please see instructions for guidance.

AACSB is hopeful that the video audition is a much easier process for everyone. We suggest that students take full advantage of the video audition by recording a few takes and sending in the best one, perhaps even recording the audition at a tutor lesson!
Good Luck!!
