WeVideo Instructions

As promised, here is the link to submit your Concert Band Video Audition. This is due by midnight on November 6th. You may do these at home, during homeroom (with a pass), or before or after school if the directors are there.

We have tested this with phones and chromebooks and it seems to work fine. If you do it on your phone, just record yourself and attach the video to the Google Form at the end. If you need to use your Chromebook to do this, there is a link above showing how to use it. You will need to go to www.wevideo.com and log in using your school Google account.

This is REQUIRED! Everyone MUST submit an audition. Not only will this help us place you in the correct band according to abilities, but it will serve as a playing test grade. Please don't hesitate to ask a question if you have it.
