Auditions

Spring 2011 Auditions…Please read carefully!

Auditions for CU Winds are on Monday, December 5, 2011. All auditions will take place in Lincoln B20 unless otherwise posted. Instrumentalists are auditioned at specific days/times so it is important that you sign up for the correct block:

Flutes 1-2pm
Clarinets: 2-2:50pm
Double reeds: 2:50-3:10pm
Trumpet/Horn/Trombone: 3:10-4:00pm
Percussion: 4:00-4:30pm
Euphonium/saxophones: 4:30-5pm

Please prepare a selection (or selections) that demonstrate your ability to perform in contrasting styles (fast and ‘lyrical/slow’), all major scales, and your chromatic scale (however you normally practice scales is fine). There will also be a sight-reading portion. Stay tuned to this site for a possible prepared excerpt which can be downloaded 2 weeks prior to the audition.

As in past semesters, please fill out the form below and sign up for a timeslot (be careful to sign up in the correct time slot for your instrument) by clicking here. You will need to have a cuwinds.com account and be currently logged in to sign up. If you have any issues please contact Jason Wright (jpw97 {at} cornell(.)edu).
