High School Band
2020-21
SCKMEA In-Person mini-conventions are cancelled for 2020-21. Auditions and nominations for honor groups will be held online. Rosters will be published.
2020-21 SCKMEA Honor Group Waiver of Enrollment Requirement
For the 2020-2021 school year only, a student may audition (or be nominated) for an SCKMEA honor ensemble
even if the student is unable to participate in their school's music program due to circumstances resulting from COVID-19.
Any student in such a situation must work with their school's music teacher(s) to complete the necessary SCKMEA forms and procedures.
By submitting a student's audition or nomination, a teacher verifies that the student is or has previously been a member of their school's music program in good standing.
2020-21 SCKMEA High School Honor Groups to use Recorded Auditions
SCKMEA will use online recorded auditions for all high school honor groups for the 2020-21 school year.
Additional information, including audition materials for each ensemble, will be further specified as chairs complete their plans.
Auditions for the South Central Kansas Music Educators Association District Honor Bands will be
held online using the Festival Scores audition system.
Auditions are open for students in grades 9-12 from participating High Schools.
The deadline for audition entries is October 12, 2020.
Late entries will be accepted up through Nov. 6, with applicable late fees.
Audition Registration
Official registration is located in the KMEA Members website, linked in the
Registration tab above.
This is the same site used for registration last year.
Festival Scores will be used only to replace the in-person audition and judging activities.
SCKMEA Fee Policy
Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the SCKMEA Fee Policy.
SCKMEA Fee Policy
At the January 30, 2016 board meeting, the SCKMEA Executive Board voted to approve the
following policy. Late entries for SCKMEA auditions for District Jazz Band, Band, and
Orchestra will be assessed a $25 late fee for each entry.
All audition fees and participation fees for all SCKMEA honor groups (Elementary Choir, MS Band
and Choir, HS Jazz Band, Band, Orchestra, Choir) must be paid by the day of the event. If fees are
not paid on-time, the audition and participation fees will be doubled.
All audition, participation, and late fees must be paid by March 1. If fees remain unpaid after March
1, students from that school's program (band, choir, jazz or orchestra) will not be eligible to
participate in SCKMEA District events the following school year.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email or call me. I will respond as soon as
possible. Best wishes to you and your students!
