Spring 2019 Audition Information!

AUDITION DATES:

Memorial High School (during band classes) - April 30, May 1 and May 2

Middle Schools (Maus, Trent, Staley-during your band class) - May 6, May 8, and May 10…be prepared to play on any of these days!

Three components to the spring audition:

  1. Scales - as many major scales as you can perform correctly (full range), plus your chromatic scale, in under 2 minutes. Harmonic and Natural minor scales may be performed for additional credit. Brass players who are still developing upper register range can say and finger those notes for the audition. Scales will be heard “live” and in person.

  2. Sightreading - you will have 2 minutes to review the music, which will be about 16 measures, then perform the sightreading material to the best of your ability.

  3. Etudes - These are linked below and should be prepared and performed at a tempo that you can display your best sound and most accurate performing. Accuracy should be your number one priority!
