Wind Ensemble Auditions

Wind Instrument Audition Requirements: 

A. Solo/small ensemble piece- something you know from a contest or other performance.

B. Etude- material from a lesson or method book or NSBA 8th Grade All State Auditions

C. Band/Orchestra- music you are preparing in class

 

Your selection should be 16-32 measures in length and demonstrate lyrical and technical style, dynamic contrast, and range.

 

Please note: 

This is an “audition”, NOT a playing test. No one will “fail” or not be accepted for participation in high school band.  Everyone has a place to play in our band program.


Percussion Audition Requirements:

Materials to be posted in late November of that school year

8th Grade Students: You may record an audition for consideration into Wind Ensemble using the video function of your phone or LPS supported apps such as WeVideo or MyVRSpot from your Chromebook


Please submit recordings by Friday, February 28th 2025 via Google Drive to Mr. Metteer at rmetteer@lps.org
