July 16, 2018Dear Instrumental Student:We hope you are enjoying the summer and looking forward to the beginning of the fall semester! As webegin our preparations for the upcoming year, we want you to be aware of the audition procedures for theBaylor instrumental ensembles. Please read the information below carefully. Learning to audition is animportant part of the educational process for every music student. In order for you to maximize thisopportunity, we expect you to prepare the audition material to the very best of your ability. Please be awarethat part assignments and seating for the year will largely be based on the results of these fall auditions.Auditions will be heard by the instrumental conducting faculty and applicable studio faculty. This processmakes alternative audition times extremely difficult. If it is impossible for you to audition during thescheduled audition time, please call or e-mail one of us for instructions prior to August 3rd. Auditions at theend of the fall semester may be held primarily for those openings created by graduation or student teaching.However, in sections where fall auditions are extremely competitive, the conductors may require a newaudition for the spring semester.Placement in and part assignments for the following ensembles will be determined by the upcomingauditions. Please note the semester rehearsal schedule detailed below, which has been modified slightly:Baylor SymphonyWind EnsembleJazz Ensemble(MWF 11:15-12:35)(MWF 2:25-3:45)(TR 5:00-6:30)Campus OrchestraSymphonic BandConcert Jazz Ensemble(MWF 11:15-12:05)(MWF 12:50-2:10)(TR 2:00-3:15)Some schedule changes may be necessary following the auditions. Undergraduate woodwind, brass, percussion,harp and string bass students selected for the Baylor Symphony/Wind Ensemble “pool” should register foreither course (not both) but must have both times available. Please be reminded that undergraduate “pool”members are not allowed to register for both Baylor Symphony and Wind Ensemble courses in the samesemester, therefore, we recommend that you alternate ensembles when you register each semester so thatyour transcript shows participation in both wind ensemble and orchestra. Grading for these “pool” memberswill be based on fulfillment of assigned responsibilities, as mutually determined by both ensemble conductors.Graduate woodwind, brass, percussion, harp and string bass students selected for the Baylor Symphony/WindEnsemble “pool” must be registered for both courses each semester.The schedule of the auditions is detailed on the following page. Information regarding these auditions will beposted on the ensemble bulletin board outside of room 118 in the McCrary Music Building (MMB).We are very excited about the coming academic year. As always, if you have any questions, or if we can be ofassistance in any way, feel free to contact one of us. Enjoy the remainder of the summer!Sincerely,Stephen HeydeDirector of Orchestral ActivitiesJ. Eric WilsonDirector of Bands

Instrumental Audition GuidePlease understand that part assignments for ALL ensembles will be based on the results ofthese auditions. Parts will be rotated when possible, but the most challenging parts andleadership roles will be assigned to those students exhibiting the highest level ofpreparedness and musicianship in these auditions. Additionally:1. All auditions will be heard behind a screen. A monitor will escort you into the audition roomand announce your assigned letter. You may then begin to play. Please do not speak at allduring your time in the room. Should you have a question, exit the room and ask it of themonitor.2. All auditions will be heard by the instrumental ensemble faculty and applicable studio teacher,as available.3. Prepare the entire audition packet as you may be asked to play all required excerpts.Exception: those non-music major string players auditioning for Campus Orchestra needonly prepare and perform the indicated material.4. Sign-up sheets will be posted on the board outside MMB room 118 by Wednesday, August 15.At your convenience, please reserve a specific time within the designated audition period foryour instrument. Additionally, pick-up the Personal Information Form (PIF) posted in thislocation and take the completed form to your audition.5.

In addition, we arelistening for quality of tone and intonation as well as intentional and expressive musicianship.Woodwind, Brass, and Percussion music majors:Students receiving School of Music scholarships are required to audition for ensemble assignmentby the conducting faculty each semester as stated in the scholarship letter of agreement. To be incompliance with the scholarship requirements, all scholarship students must audition and may beassigned to a fall concert ensemble (Symphony Orchestra/Wind Ensemble “pool” or SymphonicBand).
