Fall 2009 Band Auditions

Auditions are required for all three concert bands in Fall semesters.

MWF 12:00 - 12:50
MUP 135.001 (MUP 335.001 - upper level credit)
MWF 12:00 - 12:50

Section numbers can be changed if you make a different band than the one you register for.

REQUIRED TEXT: Members of all three bands must provide their own copy of "Foundations for Superior Performance," by Richards Williams and Jeff King. It is published by Kjos Music and is available at many larger music stores. You should take care of this now, because they are not available in Nacogdoches.

REQUIRED DRESS for all three bands: men - tux with white shirt/black bow tie, black socks; women - long black dress (preferred), skirt or nice slacks (not jeans or casual cotton pants). With skirt or slacks, a black blouse or top that fully overlaps or tucks in the skirt/slacks.

Woodwinds and Brass have excerpts on three pages to download.
Percussionists have three pages to download. Percussionists must audition on timpani, snare, and vibraphone. Percussionists will also have a short sight-reading excerpt.
