MUSIC DEPARTMENT ENSEMBLES

    Auditions

        Most ensembles require auditions for placement purposes. Auditions take place during the first week of classes in the fall and typically involve vocalizing or playing scales, performing a brief prepared excerpt or two, and sight-reading. Individual ensemble directors can provide detailed information on auditions for their ensembles.
