Directors, as per our Zoom meeting the SWOBDA Honor Band Auditions are going to take place online hosted by the company OPUS. I will send you an email with a link and instructions on setting up a profile for your OkMEA AND SWOBDA audition entries. The profile you set up will work for OkMEA AND SWOBDA. Please set up only one profile. I will send another email to you letting you know when OPUS is ready for each director to start adding your students entries. It should be sometime mid-September. Due to the audition changes we have had to move the entry deadline date to match OkMEA's entry deadlines. Those can be found on the OkMEA website.
The Southwestern Oklahoma Band Directors Association was first formed in 1966. The goal was and is to this day to promote music education in Oklahoma and to give lifetime experiences for students through music performance. It has been a source of pride for many students who have been selected to perform with the honor groups throughout the years. Approximately 1200 students, grades 7–12, from 57 schools in the 17 southwest Oklahoma counties audition every year for a spot in one of the six district honor bands. Auditions are held in conjunction with the OMEA first-round auditions every November. The clinic is held in early February with guest clinicians from all over the United States.
