Membership Clarification

Students from schools that are AMIS members as of November 1, 2007 pay "member" fees. Students from schools other than those that are AMIS members as of November 1, 2008 pay "non-member" fees.

Teachers from AMIS member schools (as of November 1) pay "member" rates. Teachers who are individual members of AMIS also pay "member" rates. All others pay "non-member" rates.

Note:
Only students from AMIS member schools are eligible to apply for financial aid.

Audition Codes

Here are the audition codes for the 2008-2009 school year. Use this new number to clearly mark all auditions being submitted for festivals during the 2008-2009 school year. Do NOT use the initials for your school on the audition discs, CDs, or cassettes.

If you do not find your school’s name on this list, email the Executive Consultant so a number can be assigned to your school. - posted 30 July, 2008

Important Reminder for all preparing auditions:
Students are each to announce " I am violin number 1" (or the appropriate instrument and audition number) at the beginning of their audition. They must never announce their school or their name. The number they say is the order in which their audition appears on the CD. It must also match the online form that was submitted. This helps us to be sure we are hearing the auditionee we think we are hearing. The second student on the CD would say "I am violin number 2" and so on. Remember, all violins go on one disc, all violas go on one disc, all 'cellos go on one disc....

BE SURE TO READ ALL INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE REHEARSAL CD BEFORE YOU START TO RECORD WITH YOUR STUDENTS!
