Procedure for 8th & 9th Grade Percussion Auditions
Percussionists will audition in Percussion Room #1 to play the snare drum & timpani etudes, and then move immediately to Percussion Room #2 to perform the keyboard etude & sight-reading. As soon as a student has completed both rooms (which will happen back to back and should take less than 10-12min total), he/she is done with the audition.
STUDENTS WHO NEED EARLY OR LATE AUDITION TIMES
• Students will check-in with at rooms at 8:30am as originally planned, where they will receive the randomly scheduled audition time created by the software.
• The monitors will have a list of students within each room from whom we have received an adjusted audition request for, so the student needs to let the monitor know that he/she is on that list.
• The student needs to warm up and report to the room as soon as they are ready to audition.
• Requests for an early/late audition are prioritized based on the timeframe of the request, and the monitors will work those students into the rotation as smoothly as possible.
