District 7 Band/Orchestra Audition Information

PICCOLO AUDITION PROCEDURE

The audition chairs, in conjunction with the District 7 President, have developed the following procedure for Piccolo auditions.

District Band piccolo player audition procedure:

1. Students interested in auditioning for the piccolo chair should bring both their flute and piccolo to auditions.
2. Students will first audition on flute. Students will be selected for district band based upon their flute audition.
3. Students who are selected for district band based upon their flute audition will have the option to audition on piccolo.
4. Piccolo auditions will occur immediately following orchestral flute auditions and be evaluated by the same judges.
5. All students who have qualified for district band and who wish to audition on piccolo should report to the orchestral flute auditions.
6. A single piccolo audition excerpt will be selected from the District Band flute solo by the Audition Repertoire Chair. The students will only be asked to play this excerpt; no scales will be heard.

Auditions at the District Band Festival:

1. Students will audition on both flute and piccolo at the District Band Festival.
2. The District Band piccolo folder will contain both flute and piccolo parts.
