Audition Requirements Tenor & Bass Trombones
On the following pages you will find the Tenor and Bass Trombone audition excerpts for this year’s Festival of Winds and Percussion. Your band director will be notified of which instrument you were selected to play. Students must audition playing the instrument for which they were selected.
Students are asked to submit a recorded audition. Recording your audition allows you the freedom to submit your BEST “take” of the audition materials.
A few notes about the audition process:
• Auditions may be submitted via audio format (.mp3 or .wav) or video format (due to filesize it is preferable that videos be uploaded to YouTube or a comparable site).
• Videos uploaded to YouTube or a comparable site should not be listed “private” as thismay not allow our faculty to view your video. Please list as “public” or “unlisted” whichwill allow anyone with a link to view your video.
• Test the audio level before completing your recording. Audio that is too soft or too loud(distorted) may affect your overall audition raking. Remember, this is about yousubmitting your BEST!
When you are ready to record, please follow the process below.
• Very clearly say your full name (first & last).• Say the name of the high school you attend.• Say the name of the instrument you are playing (Tenor or Bass Trombone).• Scales should be performed first followed by the prepared excerpt(s).
o All materials should be recorded/submitted as one file per student.• When you have finished, say “End of Recording.”
Example: “My name is Jeffrey Miller. I attend Tennessee Tech High School and am auditioning on Tenor Trombone.” [Play through audition materials.] “End of recording.”
Recorded auditions must be received by Friday, January 24, 2020.
