Below are the recommended guidelines for a percussion audition. If your present school does not provide training in mallets or timpani, you are still invited to audition. I recommend that you choose an audition piece that does not require pedaling. Sight-reading may be required on each instrument. Piano Two piano works from contrasting style periods are required.
Memorization is desirable as are major scales over four octaves.
Trumpet Required to be proficient in all major scales, have two etudes or solos prepared which demonstrate quality of sound and technical skills. Voice Required to have two selections fitting your voice category. One Broadway selection is permitted with one foreign language selection.
