Last Friday, 8th graders interested in joining the M100 were given audition instructions and music. Click here to access the folder that contains all of the wind audition etudes and information sheet labeled “READ THIS FIRST! M100 Audition Information Sheet 2025”. Please be sure your student reads all of the information on this sheet so they are fully prepared for the upcoming audition.

Additionally, student needs to fill out this form ASAP located by clicking here so Mr. Kwaku can create a schedule for the auditions that are held at the Belton HS Band Hall after school on the week of April 21-25.

Percussion students should contact Mr. Smith for the details concerning Belton Drumline Auditions. Feel free to contact Mr. Kwaku directly if you have any questions regarding M100 Placement Auditions.
