Cherokee Musicians Selected for All-South Jersey Region III Band and Orchestra

Read Now
 
The Cherokee High School Instrumental Music Department directors and administration sponsored the participation of eighteen instrumental music students for the 75th Annual All-South Jersey Region III Band & Orchestra auditions on Saturday, December 9th, 2021.  The auditions took place at Absegami High School in Galloway, NJ from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.  Cherokee’s Band Director, Mr. D. Michael Lynch will be participating as the rehearsal conductor of the SJBODA Wind Ensemble, and also as the Symphonic Band manager.
            The audition process starts long before the actual audition day.  Students, their directors, and their private instructors began studying the audition requirements for his/her specific instrument several months ahead of time.  The students spent countless hours learning, practicing, and perfecting each aspect of the audition.  Each student is required to perform all twelve major scales and/or selected percussive rudiments, a chromatic scale, two selected solo excerpts, and a challenging short piece that will be sight-read on the day of the audition.  In preparation of the audition, the students met with their directors and participated in mock auditions.  These mock auditions gave each student the opportunity to workout nerves by performing for their peers, and also an opportunity to share tactics, strategies, and past experiences with each auditioning participant.
            The Directors and music parents of the Cherokee Instrumental Music Department are very proud of each auditioning student.  Although not every student is accepted into a performing honors ensemble, the experienced gained throughout the audition process is guaranteed to provide heightened skills in musicianship and invaluable life lessons.  Thank you to all for the support shown toward these talented young musicians.  The audition results are listed below:
