WTAMU Symphony Orchestra About the Symphony The Symphony season offers a variety of events including traditional concerts, opera productions, choral and dance collaborations, and live cinema performances. Rehearsals are held:  Audition Information Auditions are held the first two days of the Fall and Spring semester. Sign-up for an audition time on the bulletin board outside Room 257 in Mary Moody Northen Hall. There are three parts to the audition: -
Prepare two short, contrasting excerpts of your choice (each less than three minutes). Choose anything from the orchestral or solo literature that best shows off your abilities. -
You'll be asked to play two major scales. Perform only as many octaves as you can play well. This is to exhibit evenness of tone quality and pitch accuracy. -
You'll perform a short bit of sightreading. Students from all majors are welcome to audition. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us (see below).
