13 BRIEF HISTORY OF SOUTH DAKOTA ALL-STATE BAND The first South Dakota All-State Band was held in 1951 in Sioux Falls at Washington High School with Frank Simon as the guest conductor. The All-State Band project was organized by the South Dakota Bandmasters Association (SDBA). No judges were used in selecting the members of that first All-State Band. Chair placements for each section of the Band were determined by brief auditions that were held during the first hour of the day. The auditions were listened to by the band directors. Following the auditions the band was seated and the rehearsal began at 9:30 a.m. The same format was used for the All-State Band in In 1952 the SDBA decided to hire two judges to audition students across the state. In 1961 the SDBA increased the number of All-State judges to four. Beginning in 1962 the All-State Band began a new phase in its history when the Band became a joint project of the SDBA and the South Dakota High School Interscholastic Activities Association (SDHSIAA). The two organizations oversaw the All-State Band and both have been involved with the process until In the SDHSIAA changed its name to the South Dakota High School Activities Association (SDHSAA). Starting in 1962 the general supervision and control of the All-State Band has been in the hands of the SDHSAA while a major part of the planning and operation of the Band being in the hands of the Bandmasters Association. Starting in 2013 the complete sponsorship of the All-State Band is operated by the SDHSAA. Prior to 1974 the All-State Band would first meet on Friday morning, sight read the music to be performed, and then begin rehearsals for the Saturday concert. In 1973 a decision was made to give the concert music to the All-State students at the February Music In-Service. Also, a Thursday evening rehearsal was added to the schedule. These changes have allowed the All-State Band to perform some of the most difficult and best music available for bands. Since that time the quality of the South Dakota All-State band has compared with any in the nation. Today s process for selecting the students consists of students auditioning for the same judges throughout the state within a three week period. Students are asked to prepare a solo, major scales, minor scales, and a chromatic scale. They are also auditioned on sight-reading music which is composed by the judges and the students take a test on music terminology. A composite score is compiled for each student and the students with the lowest scores in each section comprise the All State Band. This audition system has remained largely intact since Beginning with the 2006 All-State Concert a major change in the All State Band took place when the traditional one large All-State Band was divided into two smaller, but equally talented bands. The two band format is an attempt to adapt to the band music which is now being composed for smaller symphonic bands.
