Audition
An audition is always welcome as it 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.
Our season runs from September to May. You have the option to send us a video audition or participate in a live audition.
To submit a video audition, please include 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.
-
The entire video should not exceed 4 minutes in duration.
Once you have created the video, please upload it to YouTube or a cloud drive and share the link with us.
We look forward to receiving your audition and hearing from you!
