World of Pageantry

Hey, I got a couple of questions. Does anyone know when the CBDA All-State band members are supposed to be announced? Up here in Northern California I don't ever hear a lot of talk about the All-State band, is it a really big thing down there is SoCal? Just curious. I'm really excited for the band coming up, I hope I make it in! Anyone else as excited as I am?

all southern (socal only version of all state) and all state are pretty big down here... at least where I am from.
I've heard a lot of really awesome players are from fresno.
I know two ppl who were in all state, and a whole lot of ppl in all southern.

No, I'm pretty sure you just do a chair placement audition once you get there. That's how they do it at All-Northern, so I'm assuming the same goes for state.

The first audition by tape is the chance to be accepted. If accepted, you audition again for placement.

wow. How many honor bands are in cali?

Does anybody know how many people a re chosen for all-southern? How many usually tryout? Same for amount of each section. Info would be appreciate!
Cant call it a band if it doesnt have euphs

I can now answer my own question. I e-mailed the CBDA President,(He was our director last year at our county honor band, Meryl Wahmoff, kind of odd because I didn't know he was the current president) and he told me they were going to be listening to the tapes January 1-4. How dumb. They had our tapes on th first od Decbember, why must they put us through agony for over a month!!! On the bright side, you All-Northerners can expect results next Wednesday, or around there. They are listening to our tapes this weekend!
