Texas ATSSB Audition Etudes
Every year, thousands of high school percussion students around the state of Texas audition for District, Region, Area and All State bands. Whether they attend large high schools and perform the TMEA (Texas Music Educators Association) or the ATSSB (Association of Texas Small School Bands) selection of etudes, we want to give them the resources necessary to model their practice time on snare, timpani and marimba off of high quality performances. We hope you enjoy these videos, whether you’re auditioning or simply wish to work on the etudes! [1]
