Audition Information

All campers will be required to audition for a spot in one of our ensembles based on their playing ability.  By holding auditions it allows us to place campers in the ensemble that they will benefit from the most based on where they are in their music level.  Auditions will beheld on Sunday, July  14th  in the afternoon.  Students will be required to play the following:

  • Scales (slur up/tongue down  - wind instruments)
  • Chromatic scale (slur up/tongue down - wind instruments only)
  • Short etude prepared by camper
  • Passage excerpts - follow the links below.

High School Vocalists should bring 2 prepared pieces (preferably one in English and one in another language).  The audition will also consist of sightreading and scales.

Audition results will be posted Sunday evening prior to the first rehearsal that night. Campers will have the option to challenge for a higher chair within the ensemble they have been placed, if they choose to do so.
