 Anna,
 I never made it to All-State in Mass, and I only went to District one year on clarinet.  The other years I tried out on saxophone for some stupid reason beyond me!  Anyway, I think the competition is pretty tough.  I think when I went, I made my District by 2 points, and missed All-State auditions by 1.  However I could be completely wrong.  In high school, I didn't know much about the music I played, and I didn't have very good teachers.  I have improved a lot since then and have realized that, while fun and exciting, the honor bands are not as imoportant as I had thought.  A lot of the people who sat way up in the section often seemed snobby.  Good luck in your audition!
