The Okaloosa Middle School All-County Band is made up of the best musicians in all of Okaloosa County! This is an incredible achievement and our students grow tremendously simply by going through the audition process. We are proud of our students for challenging themselves and celebrate those who are selected and represent the top middle school musicians in our county! The audition consists of 7 major scales (performed by memory within 2 minutes 30 seconds), the chromatic scale (performed by memory), 2 prepared etudes, and sight-reading.

Summer Band Camp Opportunities
Participating in summer band camps is an amazing way to keep your student engaged in music-making over the summer. In addition to gaining new experiences, students are exposed to new music and instruction, make new friends, and improve their own musicianship. They return to their home programs in a great position to start the new year, and many end up making the All County and All State Bands! Registration for these summer camps is not yet open, but feel free to explore the attached websites to think and look ahead!
2025-2026 Solo and Ensemble
This is an INCREDIBLE and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED performance opportunity for students in grades 6-8. Students prepare a solo or ensemble piece of music and perform for an expert on their instrument for an official rating and meaningful feedback. We are so proud our students who seek out opportunities such as this to step out of their comfort zone to grow as both musicians and people. More information coming at a later time!
Acceptance into the All-State Middle School Concert Band is the greatest achievement a middle school student can receive! Simply auditioning is a huge accomplishment, and no matter the results, the process helps your student become a better musician and human! This is highly recommended for students entering grades 7/8. All-State auditions are completed for this school year, but all students interested in auditioning for All-State next year can begin working on the following: 7 Major Scales performed in 2 minutes or less by memory, full range Chromatic Scale performed in 45 seconds or less by memory. Auditioning for the All-County Band, attending a Summer Music Camp, and getting started in private lessons are the most EFFECTIVE ways to set your student up for All-State auditions and long-term success in Band. Reach out to us with questions; we are happy to help!
