Doane Honor Band Instructions for Uploading

All items below MUST be completed by 11:59 pm Monday night, October 2nd. The online application and upload process should take between 10 and 15 minutes. Unlike All-State auditions, you may do all of this by yourself at home without the supervision or help of your teacher. If you choose to upload from school, be sure to work with your teacher as school IT systems may prohibit you from doing so.

*Once your audition has been submitted, you will not be able to make changes.

If you are uploading from school:

Be sure to consult with your director before doing so. Some schools may block your audio file, so you might need permission from the school to do so.
