Davis High School BandsTo all current 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students interested in becoming a member of the DHS Band Program…WELCOME! We want you to be a part of this excited, award winning program that travels far and wide, performing and touring as representatives of our community and the DHS Music Department.

Special Note: If you are a current 9th grade student who was enrolled in band classes in 8th grade but no longer enrolled in band, you are welcome to join the program! See below if you are interested in auditioning for either the Jazz or Symphonic Bands, or please sign up for the Concert Band! You will not need teacher recommendation this year to joint Concert Band.

Every student auditioning for either the DHS Jazz or Symphonic Bands will need to complete and submit a band application that provides pertinent information to Mr. Slabaugh for registration and communication. The link to this form can be found here: https://bit.ly/3wLPmCL

Please read through the audition information provided for the ensemble you most are interested in for next year. For Symphonic Band auditions, the audition information is separated by instrument and can be found in a folder by following the link (below). For Jazz Band auditions, there is one page of audition information for all instruments and one audio file of the accompaniment for the audition selection. See the link (below) to access these files.

Symphonic Band Audition Materials can be found HERE: https://bit.ly/3jlTOFn

  • Special Note for Jazz Band Auditions: The lead sheet includes the Introduction for the chart. The accompaniment track does NOT include the Introduction. Rather, the track begins at the HEAD of the piece. You may exclude the Introduction in your audition.
Auditions for Symphonic Band are submitted via a recording, with instructions provided in the audition materials. The Jazz Band auditions are live and every student MUST reserve an audition time by following this link: https://bit.ly/3XVxcun

EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO AUDITION! WE NEED PLAYERS ON EVERY INSTRUMENT THROUGH ALL THE BANDS. PLEASE SIGN UP AND LET’S MAKE MUSIC TOGETHER!
