Buckeye Auditions

Each spring, highly motivated students in piano, string, voice, woodwinds, brass, organ, percussion and guitar compete at the District level. One winner in each participating category is selected to perform as a finalist in the state-level Buckeye Competition, held in June. Winners earn cash prizes. Complete information on Buckeye Auditions and the Application Form are found in the September issue of the News.
