An audition helps us determine the best placement for new players. In case a section is already full, we can place a player on our waiting list. An audition consists of the following:
-
A brief introduction about yourself.
-
If you play more than one instrument, please include them.
-
Perform one or two pieces that showcase your playing ability. The music can be solos, etudes, or excerpts from band/orchestra compositions.
-
Demonstrate your proficiency by performing two scales of your choice, spanning either one or two octaves.
Live auditions will be held on Wednesday, 8/30/2023, starting at 7pm in the multipurpose room of Florida Ruffin Ridley School in Brookline. We are especially interested in musicians that can help fill our percussion, oboe, bassoon, french horn, trombone, clarinet, and tuba sections. Please fill out the contact form below to let us know you'll be auditioning!
