Auditions

Auditions will be held during the week immediately prior to the beginning of classes. Audition material for all Concert Bands and Goin' Band will be posted for you to download at your convenience, and will be available by July 15th. Music majors and non-majors must audition for placement into an appropriate ensemble. Results will be posted before the first day of classes. These ensembles will meet all year long, and we will hold re-auditions in the spring for any available spots.
