Chairs, section coaches, UA staff, and parent volunteers for all the hard work they put in to making the festival a resounding success. I would encourage you all to stay tuned to both our Facebook page and our website for some potential updates regarding next year’s audition procedures and the festival itself. The AOA will release All- State audition material by August 2, 2019. However, please keep checking our Facebook page for any updates or changes to this date.
The AOA’s 4th stand-alone MPA event
took place at Gadsden City High School on April 5, 2019. One of the judges for the event commented that he had judged at our first ever event and was pleased to see the progress being made in our state over the last 4 years. The following ensembles were awarded a Superior rating with straight 1s on-stage and a 1 in sight-reading:
Gadsden Middle School Symphony Strings
Decatur Youth Symphony Chamber Strings
Gadsden City High School Titan Symphony Orchestra
Baldwin Magnet School Advanced Orchestra
Alabama School of Fine Arts String Orchestra
Dunbar Magnet School Guitar Ensemble
We will be posting the complete results to on our webpage soon. Dates and locations for next year’s event will be posted by the end of July. Please consider bringing your ensemble to this event in 2020.
I hope these last few weeks bring you great success as you wrap up spring concerts and finish out the year. As always, if there is anything that the AOA can do to help you and your program please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Regards,
Guy Harrison President, Alabama Orchestra Association
