General Information: 

• Audition results will come out after all the auditions have been processed. It may take a few weeks as we may listen to auditions from multiple dates before making final decisions.

• Auditioning for a specific ensemble does not guarantee enrollment to that ensemble. Based on the audition, conductors will place the students in the appropriate ensemble level.

• Do not expect comments from the conductors after the audition as they try to be fair to all students.

​Audition Process: 

• It is ideal to show up 30 minutes before your audition time. This allows you to check-in and warm-up before your audition. 

• Dress for success! It is important to present the best of yourself, just like an interview. This shows professionalism when you go into the audition. 

• Bring extra copies of your music. This includes your own copy of music and extra ones for the conductor(s) to use.

• Tune your instrument during your warm-up time. 

• Upon entering the audition room, greet and introduce yourself to the conductor(s). This will break the ice and help you settle in before your audition begins.

• Take your time. Before you start playing or waiting in between pieces, take a moment for yourself. Take a deep breath, gather yourself, then begin.  

• You may be asked to sight read. This is a method used in auditions for the conductors to get an in-depth perspective of the student's level. Before starting, take about 10-15 seconds to quickly scan the time signature, key signature, tempo, notes, rhythm, and dynamic markings.  It's not meant to be perfect. Do the best you can, and play it through in one go. 

• You'll do great! At this point, you have done everything you can to prepare for the audition. The only thing to do now is to enjoy and learn from the experience.
