Selection

Each high school band director in Michigan may nominate as many as four of their best players for participation in the 120-member Viet Cuong All-Star Band which will rehearse and perform in Miller Auditorium on Spring Conference day. Band directors must submit their online all-star nomination form and registration form no later than Friday, March 1.

Recorded audition recommended

We encourage each nominee to submit a recorded audition (MP3 file preferred). First chair aspirants must submit a recorded audition. A recorded audition will be especially helpful to an outstanding Â鶹´«Ã½ who has not participated regularly in solo/ensemble festivals (one of the main criterion for selection). An individual file for each candidate is required if a recorded audition is sent.

Recordings should include a "contest" solo. All nominated Â鶹´«Ã½s will be notified, at their home addresses, of their participation status no later than March 21. Viet Cuong All-Star Band winners will receive music to prepare. Participants will be asked to pay a $45 fee when they arrive on April 10. Nominated Â鶹´«Ã½s not placed in the all-star band may still attend the conference free of charge.
