试听过程是怎样的?
The audition process for the 大学管乐团 consists of a reading session and an individual audition. The reading session is just like a typical rehearsal where everyone plays together. Everyone who is interested in auditioning is required to attend the reading session. The audition music is distributed at the reading session and is for the student to take to practice for the individual audition. The individual audition is scheduled by each student for a time of their choice. 在个人试镜中, the student plays the audition excerpt distributed at the reading session and will also play a few short sight-reading etudes. If a student has been accepted through Advanced Placement, they are still required to attend the reading session.
What should I prepare for the audition?
There is nothing to prepare in advance of the audition. The audition music will be distributed at the reading session. 学生 will take the music with them to practice for the individual audition. The audition music consists of an excerpt from a piece which we will play at the first concert and a short sight-reading etude.
时间承诺是什么?
The 大学管乐团 rehearses on Mondays 5:15 p.m.-6:30 p.m. 星期三下午4:15开始.m.-6:30 p.m. 除了, each section will schedule a one-hour section rehearsal at a time when everyone in the section is available. Full ensemble rehearsals, section rehearsals and lessons add up to a total of 5 hours per week. Members are also expected to practice outside of rehearsals to prepare the ensemble music. Individual practice time will vary for each member. When completing your class schedule, you should not schedule a class during the rehearsal times (Mondays from 5:15 p.m.-6:30 p.m. 星期三下午4:15.m.-6:30 p.m.)
