Shoals Area Honor Band Auditions
Shoals Area Honor Band Auditions will be Tuesday, February 7. The tryouts are here at MSMS and will begin at 5:00 p.m. All the MSMS Band kids who are trying out will need to make sure they get their instrument and tryout music out of the bandroom before 5:00 p.m. as the bandroom will be used as a tryout room. The warm up area will be in the MSMS Commons. The kids who are auditioning need to be at MSMS to tryout by 5:00 p.m. There are no tryout times. The kids simply need to find their tryout room and get in line.
