Audition Music

Here you will find PDFs of the Ensemble Audition Music for entry into the Wind Orchestra and repertoire requirements for the Jazz Ensemble. Concert Band (which meets Tuesdays, 7-9pm, but does NOT fulfill the requirement for a major ensemble for music majors) is a non-auditioned ensemble.

  • All Wind Orchestra instrumentalists will be asked for a chromatic scale. The chromatic scale should be tongued/articulated on the way up, and slurred on the way down. Tempo is at the discretion of the performer; please choose a tempo that will allow you to complete the chromatic scale smoothly and accurately.
  • All Wind Orchestra instrumentalists will be asked for three scales (chosen from E-flat, A-flat, D-flat, G-flat, G-natural, D-natural, E-natural, and F natural). The scales should be tongued/articulated on the way up, and slurred on the way down. Tempo is at the discretion of the performer; please choose a tempo that will allow you to complete the scales smoothly and accurately.
  • All percussionists will be auditioned and assigned to ensembles by Dr. Finnie. 
  • String bassists, pianists, harpists, and other interested performers will be assigned to the wind bands on an interest and as-needed basis.
