General Audition Guidelines
1. Complete the application form. The Director must be a current PMEA member. *You will need to create a Submittable account, if you have not already done so. (Please note that email notifications are sent to the email address on the Submittable account under which the application is submitted.) 2. No identifying clothing may be worn (i.e. no school t-shirts, no name identification, no PMEA, NAfME All Eastern or National shirts). Additionally, please do not include any identifying information in the video file name or in the content of the recording (i.e. your name or school name). 3. The music excerpt requirement must be recorded from start to finish without cuts and/or splices. Students’ hands/body/face must be visible in the video. To obtain the best audio quality, a good microphone as well as high-end computers or digital recording devices for the recording equipment are suggested. ** There can be no use of any device that can be perceived to give aid to a student (i.e. no earphones,airpods, etc.)

Tips for recordings in Submittable:
  • The maximum video size is 4GB – the larger the video, the longer it will take to load
  • mp4 files appear to upload better than .mov files
  • Small rooms with good acoustic qualities will create the best recording
  • A good microphone and a good piece of recording equipment (high end computer or digital recording device) are the two things that can most improve a recording.
