What the organization posted
Auditions are recorded and submitted through OpusEvent, not performed live. WMEA routes students to its All-State Hub, which carries step-by-step audition instructions, a table of contents, and recording and uploading instructions, with separate material sets per ensemble (Junior Band, Orchestra, Choir and Youth Choir; High School Band, String and Jazz). WMEA states the audition music for 2026-27 is the same as the 2025-26 school year and that some documents still carry a '2026' label. The per-instrument scale and etude lists sit in Google Drive PDFs linked from the hub.
Notes
Materials are declared live ('Audition Materials available NOW!') and the hub confirms the 2026-27 music is unchanged from 2025-26, but the per-instrument scale and etude lists sit in linked Google Drive folders, so the specific scales and etudes are not confirmed here - open the hub's per-instrument PDFs directly. Audition open and close dates were blank on the page as of August 23, 2026. High school choir and orchestra are also offered; whether wind players are placed into the orchestra through this same audition is not stated, so orchestra is not covered on this page.
