SCKMEA will use online recorded auditions for all high school honor groups for the 2021-22 school year.

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!
