The WTAMU Band & Orchestra Camp audition pieces will be available by selecting the appropriate grade and instrument from the list below. All band students will audition on the following pieces for chair placement in one of five bands for High School students and four bands for Junior High Students. All string students will audition for placement in either the Symphony Orchestra or String Orchestra. ALL Students should play as much of the page as possible.
The audition pieces were written to challenge the most advanced middle school and high school students. Careful attention and detail should be given to tempo, meter, and rhythm.
*Percussionists MUST audition on both the snare drum and mallet percussion parts.
*JAZZ BAND TRYOUTS: There is no specific tryout music. You can either play something you've played before in jazz band, or play the regular audition music in a jazz style.
