The music faculty at Colorado State University invites you and your high school students to reference the 2026-2027 Colorado All-State and CSU Honor Band Audition Instructional Videos, which are designed to help prepare high school woodwind, brass, strings, and percussion students for their upcoming auditions.

Dedicated to its land-grant heritage, CSU is committed to promoting the highest-quality music and pedagogy, serving music education through the actions of faculty that benefit the students, teachers, and citizens of Colorado.

Dear Band and Orchestra Directors,

CSU once again shares the latest Colorado All-State Band and Orchestra and CSU Honor Band audition repertoire by our performance faculty at Colorado State University. Seen by more than 250,000 people, this series has helped not only Colorado students do their best on their All-State auditions but has also assisted musicians all over the world.

CSU music faculty explain, analyze, and demonstrate difficult etudes and excerpts while at the same time urging students to put their artistic interpretation into their performances. We hope these videos help your students in their auditions and help them become better and more well-rounded musicians.

We always appreciate your comments and suggestions on how we can better serve your students in the future! Please reach out at SMTD@colostate.edu.
