Audition Music

Please download and bring a copy of your part for chair placement auditions. These will begin at 9:00 AM on February 15th. Information about audition location and check-in procedure will be sent closer to the festival date. ALL woodwind/brass players also prepare an A-flat Major scale, as many octaves as you are able to play. Slur for the ascending scale and use staccato articulation for the descending scale. Mezzo forte dynamic. ALL percussionists must prepare two of the three excerpts, your choice; not all three.
