Audition Requirements;
Applicants should prepare a solo in each of four categories:
The mallet selections should be chosen for musical content and technical difficulty. Applicants may also be asked to demonstrate scales and arpeggios. The snare drum selection should clearly demonstrate your level of technical ability. Rudiments and orchestral rolls at different dynamics may be asked as well. Applicants should be prepared to sight-read on any instrument.
