Instrumental Audition Guide

Please understand that part assignments for ALL ensembles will be based on the results of these auditions. Parts will be rotated when possible, but the most challenging parts and leadership roles will be assigned to those students exhibiting the highest level of preparedness and musicianship in these auditions. Additionally:

1. All auditions will be heard behind a screen. A monitor will escort you into the audition room and announce your assigned letter. You may then begin to play. Please do not speak at all during your time in the room. Should you have a question, exit the room and ask it of the monitor.

2. All auditions will be heard by the instrumental ensemble faculty and applicable studio teacher, as available.

3. Prepare the entire audition packet as you may be asked to play all required excerpts. Exception: those non-music major string players auditioning for Campus Orchestra need only prepare and perform the indicated material.

4. Sign-up sheets will be posted on the board outside MMB room 118 by Wednesday, August 20. At your convenience, please reserve a specific time within the designated audition period for your instrument. Additionally, pick-up the Personal Information Form (PIF) posted in this location and take the completed form to your audition.

5. Report for your audition 10 minutes prior to the scheduled time for your instrument group. A monitor will be present to assist you (give completed PIF to monitor).

6. The audition excerpts have been carefully marked. Please adhere to the musical instructions indicated. You are encouraged to listen to reference recordings (see bottom of p. 2).

7. We assume that you will play the correct notes and the correct rhythms. In addition, we are listening for quality of tone and intonation as well as intentional and expressive musicianship.

Woodwind, Brass, and Percussion music majors:

Students receiving School of Music scholarships are required to audition for ensemble assignment by the conducting faculty each semester as stated in the scholarship letter of agreement. To be in compliance with the scholarship requirements, all scholarship students must audition and may be assigned to a fall concert ensemble (Symphony Orchestra/Wind Ensemble “Pool” or Symphonic Band). Participating in only the Golden Wave Marching Band without participating in the audition process does not fulfill the scholarship requirement. Music Education majors continue to have a two-year curricular requirement to participate in the Golden Wave. Wind Ensemble Tour (December 14-20, 2014)

This academic year, the Baylor Wind Ensemble has been selected to perform at the 2014 Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic in Chicago, IL. In traveling to this conference, additional performances are being scheduled in areas surrounding Dallas, TX, Tulsa, OK, St. Louis, MO, and Chicago, IL. Those selected as Wind Ensemble personnel must be available and willing to participate in this tour. Funding for this tour is underway and student financial costs will be kept to a minimum. More information about the tour will be provided as more details become available.
