Audition Requirements for High School

High School Students will audition on the same requirements used for First-Round OKMEA All-State. See below for more details. At the bottom of the page, you will find the link for the audition material.

Current Requirements for 2023-2024 school year

Part 1 - Etudes

The etudes for High School are selected by OKMEA. The portion (“cuts”) to be played will be selected by OKMEA and will be posted one hour before the start of auditions on the day of All-District Auditions.

Part II - Sightreading

The sightreading will be provided by OKMEA. Students will be given 30 seconds to silently review the sightreading and at the end of 30 seconds will be asked to perform given sightreading. This does not have to be memorized.

Scales are currently used at the second-round auditions for OKMEA and ARE NOT used for the purpose of EDBDA auditions. For your students auditioning for the second-round OKMEA click here for the required scale sets.
