Strings - You should prepare your auditions as in the past with the exception of the assigned class excerpts. Since repertoire hasn't been announced or handed out, you should work on your major scales and a prepared piece. If you don't have a prepared piece (solo, etude, etc), you can play a couple of excerpts from last spring's music (GSO music for those who were in GSO last year; Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, etc. from freshman orchestra for sophomores) - choose sections that you feel best demonstrate your growth and progress. There will be some short sight-reading as usual; we know that's your favorite part! Auditions will take place per usual during the first two weeks of classes and you will be told more about audition scheduling details once school begins.
Winds & Percussion - As in the past, there will be audition sign-up information available during the first week of school. Wind auditions consist of a short prepared piece of your choosing (solo, etude, or two contrasting selections) that best demonstrates your musicianship and technical abilities. There will also be some brief sight-reading. Percussionists will sign up for interviews and will be chosen based on experience and recommendations. Did you miss the 40th Anniversary Concert?
