ALL-STATE ORCHESTRA
For 2019, ALASKA will be using the 2021 NAfME All-Northwest Set C Audition materials for the All-State Orchestra. There are six separate, required recording tracks for each instrument as follows:

Track 1: Major Scale
Track 2: Melodic Minor Scale
Track 3: Excerpt
Track 4: Excerpt
Track 5: Excerpt
Track 6: Identify and play a one-minute excerpt from your solo literature

It is standard procedure in the playing of scales on orchestral string instruments to use a so-called “turn-around” or “loop” at the beginning and end of the scale. An example in G Major would be to play pitches B-A-G-A-B-C-D-E-F#-G to begin and the pitches G-F#-E-D-C-B-A-G-B-A-G to end. The adjudicator should make no distinction between students using the “turn-around” and those who do not.

For HARP: there will only be 3 Tracks as follows:
Track 1: Melodic Minor Scale
Trace 2: Excerpt
Track 3: Excerpt

For PIANO: there will be 6 Tracks as follows:
Track 1: Major Scale
Trace 2: Major Scale
Track 3: Harmonic Minor Scale
Track 4: Melodic Minor Scale
Track 5: Excerpt
Track 6: Excerpt
