Are you a high school student interested in auditioning for the GMEA All-State Jazz Ensemble? Talk with your band director for more information. Are you a home-schooled student? Talk with your private teacher. 

Directors who wish to register students for GMEA events must be current GMEA/NAfME members. Visit the membership page to join or renew today. The All-State Jazz Ensemble Application can be found in your Opus account.  Students must be registered for All-State by the school music teacher except in cases where there is no program in the division in which the student is to be registered. Then the private music teacher and GMEA member who is directly responsible for the instruction of the student on the All-State music must register the student.
