**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.

Large percussion equipment to be used in auditions will need to be brought to the bus loop on the front / east side of Union High School, where it may be unloaded and then enter into the building via the ramp door.
