Rosemont Advanced Auditions 2024
Here is the information you need to audition for Concert Band, Advanced Strings, or Advanced Chorus.  This year I will be holding auditions for interested 6th and 7th graders IN PERSON from April 8 through April 12 from 3:30-5:30pm.

Choose one day to come to Rosemont to perform your audition, from April 8-April 12. Come to the Rosemont music room with your instrument any time between 3:30 and 5:30pm.(Pianists and percussionists do not need to bring an instrument). When you arrive, sign in on the sign-in sheet. Students will be called to perform their audition in the order in which they sign in. While you wait to to be called, you will be able to warm up in the music room. Each audition will last 6-8 minutes.

Each student will be evaluated on the following criteria:
*Accuracy of notes and rhythm
*Quality of tone and intonation
*posture and technique
*general musicality

Audition Requirements:
Strings: Play a scale starting on your instrument's lowest note, 3 octaves if you can, using advanced techniques if able (vibrato, shifting, long bowing, etc.).  After that play 1 piece of your choice between 1 and 3 minutes in length, no repeats.  You can do a whole song or just a part of one. Sightread a short musical excerpt.

Band: Play a Concert Bb scale 2 octaves (if possible), then a 2 octave scale of your choice slurred the 1st time tongued the second, then as much of a chromatic scale as you can play. After that play 1 piece of your choice between 1 and 3 minutes in length, no repeats. Percussion, play an etude or solo on the snare drum or mallets. Sightread a short musical excerpt.  

Chorus: starting on middle C, sing the C Major scale up (do re mi fa sol la ti do re me, etc.) as high as you feel comfortable. Starting on middle C again, sing down (do ti la sol etc.) as far as you can.  Sing the C Major triad (do mi sol do sol mi do), then sing an octave from middle C to upper C back to middle C. Sing a 1-2 minute song of your choice. Last, sing "Happy Birthday" to Mrs. Chu in your best strong voice, loud but not yelling.
