Front Ensemble Information

The placement process for the front ensemble will be similar to previous years.  In an effort to better prepare students for the   frontline auditions and hopefully put them a little more at ease we offer help/practice sessions, students will have the opportunity to come in and practice and receive feedback and training from some of our front ensemble staff and veterans. Students are welcome to come and go as needed.  These are not mandatory. The auditions will be small group auditions.

Students have the opportunity to audition for a mallet part, electronics part, and/or an auxiliary percussion part.  Students will only be placed in the part of the front ensemble that they audition for.  Students should understand that there will only be 2-4 auxiliary parts and 3-4 available electronics parts with the majority of the front ensemble as mallet parts.
