Personally, when I was growing up, I loved All-County/All-District/All-State auditions. I looked forward to them every year. YouTube videos in this area really helped me score a better chair. So now it's time to give back! In this video, I speak with a highly esteemed educator based in Memphis, TN: Dr. Michael Shults! He reveals all of the important things to know for your next All-State Band audition. Thanks Dr. Shults for being in the video!
