The Honor ensembles also serve as an opportunity for high school seniors interested
in attending ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ to audition for a scholarship to attend ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½. Band students interested
in auditioning for a Music and/or Band scholarship should prepare two contrasting
pieces (one technical and one lyrical) in addition to all twelve major scales and
arpeggios. Choir students interested in auditioning for a Music and/or Choir scholarship
should prepare a piece from two of the three following categories: (1) a published art song, such
as from the Twenty-four Italian Songs and Arias, or a published African-American Negro
Spiritual (sample composers: Harry T. Burleigh, Hall Johnson, Magaret Bonds, etc.),
(2) a Patriotic Song, such as "My Country Tis of Thee," or "The Star-Spangled Banner,"
(3) a musical theater selection, such as "Tomorrow" from Annie, "Maria" from West Side Story, etc.
