MMEA All State Audition Information

Dear Maryland Music Educators, Caregivers, Students, and Community, 

We are pleased to announce the 2026-2027 All State Audition Information is now available!

All State in-person auditions will be held for Junior/Senior Band, Chorus, and Orchestra. The live-virtual audition format will not be available. The auditions for Senior Jazz Band, Senior Commercial Band, Senior Harp, and Senior Piano are asynchronous via a recorded audition.

The deadline for school music educators to nominate their students for an All State audition is September 23, 2026. Please review the 2026-2027 Audition Handbook for full information, including dates, locations, audition materials, and nomination form links.

When communicating with MMEA regarding All State auditions, please include the student’s full name, grade, and instrument/vocal part. Once a student has completed the audition registration process, please include the audition number in any communications. Please copy the student’s music educator on all messages to ensure transparency and accurate communication. MMEA staff will extend the same courtesy in the event staff needs to communicate with caregivers and/or students.

If you have questions, please consult with your student’s nominating music educator. If your question is not answered, contact MMEA Staff at mmeamarylandinfo@gmail.com.

We wish you luck in the 2026-2027 All State audition process!

Sincerely,

The MMEA Team
