Greetings Rising 6th Grade Band Student! I’m so excited to have you as part of our F. J. Carnage MS Band Program next year! Our bands are held to very high standards and are some of the best in the state! Students do not need to audition. Most continuing elementary band students find a perfect home in our Intermediate Band. Intermediate Band does not require any audition. If you still wish to audition, the instructions and selections are listed below. Realize you are competing against rising 7th and 8th graders - competition is very high. If you take private lessons, you are encouraged to audition. All auditions will be submitted electronically.

I can help you get #137 and #148 if you send me an email to mpellas@wcpss.net **All auditions must be submitted prior to April 1st** How do I get my correct band class? All current elementary band students should choose “Band” on their elective choice form to get band on your schedule. Auditioned placements will be submitted internally to the F. J. Carnage scheduling office(s) by Mr. Pellas. If you place into a Concert or Symphonic Band, you will be notified. Otherwise, assume you will see Intermediate band on your schedule in the fall.
