Ensemble Placement auditions for tenor and bass trombone will be on Sunday, August 14th at 6:30pm in Edge Hall. Auditions will be blind, with Professor Zerkel and I as the only adjudicators. There will likely be no proctor, so you will be responsible for keeping the pace steady. Suggested Preparation:

• Listen to various recordings – focus on tempo and style (suggestions provided) • Work slowly – remember that practice makes permanent • Prepare the entire list – you might play everything….but maybe only selections • RECORD – LISTEN – ADJUST – REPEAT

As always, the pillars of a winning performance are:

• Beautiful and Consistent Tone • Excellent Pitch • Impeccable Time • Musicality and Versatility

Remember, we want you to play your very best and with the confidence that only comes through solid preparation. Good luck, and I look forward to hearing you!
