Copies of the audition forms are not given to students or teachers. Unlike a WSMA Solo-Ensemble Festival performance, Honors auditions are usually very competitive. The difference greatly depends on the numbers of students who audition for each voice or instrument part. All students are strongly encouraged to continue practicing their musical skills. The formal concert performances take place in Madison during the October WMEA State Music Conference.
Teachers volunteer their time and talents as section coaches, and also serve as chaperones.
Best of all, Honors staff members work with the most talented students in the state, observe and interact with one of the nation's finest conductors for an extended period of time, and participate in one of the most rewarding professional growth opportunities available. If you are interested in serving as an Honors staff member, write or call WSMA for an application. All Honors Staff applications are kept in a permanently active file.
