Band 1/21/19
Audition information
- During the week of January 28th, we will have live auditions for Symphonic Band and Concert Band placement.
- Beginning the week of February 4th, the Concert Band will set up in a different area. I will let you know where that is when I have found a suitable location.
- Everyone will audition on Russian Part 3, 140 bps. I will set the metronome and count each audition off. After 5 auditions, you will get a 30 second warm up.
- Sections will be selected based on a random draw. If a section does not finish, the following day auditions will start with that section.
