Auditions will be requested by the conductor if needed for part assignments. New students should complete a new member audition the first week of classes. This is a chance to meet the conductor and play a short piece of your choosing if they are unsure about joining. Percussionists, pianists and bass players are encouraged to demonstrate drum set styles or other styles you are familiar with.
