As if this contest means anything. College/university is where it's at and plenty of All-Staters fail out of music school.

4A student

Since beginner band, I've never made it past region auditions, so for 6 years I just tried out and got a couple chairs from honor band. Sophomore year I was first alternate for the region band, but with my horrible luck, no one skipped our so I wasn't able to go. Last year, out of nowhere, I got first alternate for all-state which I've never even come close. Hopefully this year, since it's my last year, I can make all-state and finally accomplish something. 🥲

I have just a general question. What do you guys think is the hardest instrument room to make region with? Personally for me I think it probably be basson or oboe but let me know what you think.

I personally think it’s English horn/contra bassoon since it’s only 1 per area which is pretty dang hard to do plus you have to send in recordings for it rather than normal area audition which can be nerve wrecking 😭

From my own observation, it’s usually double reeds and saxes. They always have small allocation to region and area.

But, if you’re in 5A, good luck lol. Almost every instrument has an allocation of 1 to state with the exception of one area.
