📢WIND/BRASS/PERCUSSION AUDITIONS HAPPENING SOON!📢

The FCYS Wind/Brass/Percussion auditions will take place on Sunday, January 11, 2026 at Floyd Central High School in the Band Room between [2:00-4:00] or during your pre-scheduled Indiana All-State Band Audition slot.

Students planning to audition need to sign up for an audition time slot at this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0845AEAB2BA0FDCF8-61309492-wind #/

-- If you are already planning to audition for Indiana All-State Band, you do not need to sign up for a separate audition slot time. During your All-State Band audition, just let them know you are also wishing to audition for Floyd County Youth Symphony. You would then only need to audition one time. On the sign up genius, there is a special spot to sign up if you already have an All-State audition time and are wishing to audition for both.
--If you are not planning to audition for Indiana All-State Band, then you will need to sign up for an individual time slot from the link listed above.

*If you cannot make any of the scheduled audition times or if a situation arises in which you will need to miss your scheduled audition time - please contact Jenny Casey at [email protected]. In these certain circumstances we will accept a recorded video audition.
