All City Band is where students audition to be in a band clinic, and they are conducted by a special guest conductor. All City Band auditions were on Nov. 11. The students practice all day at a clinic at Northwest Classen high school and then later that night they perform; the performance is free to anybody that wants to watch.   

“It didn’t really need much preparation as this year’s music was relatively easy, however I usually work on the music one section at a time then put it together,” said Alex Kravtsov when asked how he prepares for the auditions.
