\n\u2022 Students should do the bulk of their warming up prior to their sign-in time.
\n\u2022 IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT STUDENTS ENTER THE AUDITION ROOM WITH THEIR SIGN-IN GROUP. If a student fails to show up with their group, they will be SUBJECT TO DISQUALIFICATION (this DOES NOT apply to PRE-APPROVED late arrival students).<\/p>\n

\u2022 All members of the group will be in the room at the same time (\u201cround robin\u201d). Round 1 will be the 1st etude cuts. Round 2 will be the 2nd etude cuts, and Round 3 will be the 3rd etude cuts.
\n\u2022 The inside monitor will give all instructions to the students inside the room. No communication between the auditioning students and the judges is permitted.

\u2022 A non-audible metronome may be used prior to the performance by the auditioning student\u2014not during their performance. Non-performing students may not use a metronome during another student’s audition. Audible metronomes are not to be allowed in the audition area. As per TMEA policy, STUDENTS MAY NOT USE CELL PHONE APP METRONOMES.
\n\u2022 With the exception of metronomes, absolutely no electronic equipment will be allowed inside the audition room during the audition. This includes but is not limited to iPods, radios, CD players, electronic games, recording devices, cellular telephones, computers, etc. (Percussionists may use an electronic device to generate tuning notes for timpani, but it may not be a cell phone)
\n\u2022 At the beginning of the audition, the students will be allowed to warm-up for one minute.
\n\u2022 Prior to each excerpt, if a student so desires, a brief warm-up of no more than 5 seconds is appropriate. A student may only play the starting note of the excerpt.
\n\u2022 Mallet percussion may only play a roll on the starting note. Snare drum and timpani may only play a roll on the drum.
\n\u2022 Timpani students will be allowed up to 30 seconds for tuning before warm-up timing begins. Timpani pedals will be reset after each performer.
\n\u2022 After each fifth person plays, all students shall warm-up simultaneously for 20-30 seconds. There will be no restrictions on what the students can play during the group warm-up. However, disruptive activity could be subject to disciplinary action, including being removed from the audition process.
\n\u2022 All students in the group must remain in the room until their entire group is done. Once their group is done, they are free to leave the contest. Results will be posted once the ENTIRE ROOM has finished.<\/p>\n
NEW TMEA POLICY REGARDING CELL PHONES<\/p>\n
\u2022 No electronic devices may be used or accessed by a student participant until the results for the student\u2019s section have been posted or announced.
\n\u2022 Failure to comply with this regulation may result in student disqualification.
\n\u2022 The list of non-allowable electronic devices includes, but is not limited to, phones, electronic games, computers, cameras and playback systems.<\/p>\n
PERCUSSION AUDITION PROCEDURE<\/p>\n
\u2022 There are 3 separate rooms for percussion. All of the snare drums will be in one room, all of the marimbas will be in the second room, and all of the timpani will be in the third room.
\n\u2022 Each group will begin in their assigned room. As each audition letter is called, the student will go to his instrument (or the one that will be provided) and play the selected portion of the music.
\n\u2022 When all students in Group 1 of each percussion room have finished their 1st piece, the group and their judges will move to the next instrument audition room. This process continues until each group has finished all three etudes.<\/p>\n
