Region Orchestra Auditions
Similar to auditions for the All-Region Band, there are auditions for the woodwind/brass/percussion sections in the All-Region Orchestra. Students that place high enough at the Region Orchestra Audition can earn automatic advancement to the Area round of the All-State auditions process, meaning that do not have to attend the NZ Region Band or Pre-Area Auditions. Only select students will be allowed to audition for the All-Region Orchestra. For reference, here is a normal flow chart of the TMEA All-State pathway in Region 20:
North Zone All Region Auditions >
Pre-Area Auditions(NZ vs SZ) >
Area D Auditions (Regions 8, 20, 21, 26) >
All-State Auditions
