The Audition Process

Our audition process consists of the following criteria:

1. You will prepare one piece for myself and an audition panel that demonstrates your understanding of musical literacy and performance basics. This audition piece will be preselected, unless you are doing a choral audition. 

2. There will be a music reading portion where you will sightread a small, four measure excerpt that will demonstrate your music reading abilities. If you are joining choir and you do not know how to read music, please share that with me when you sign up for your auditions.

3. You will type a response to three questions that will be an interview portion of the audition. You will need to print these responses and you will give them to the panel on the audition day. We will not interview you on the spot; however, based upon your responses, I may reach out to you via email to ask follow up questions. Questions will be posted to the audition website no later than May 1st, 2024.

4. If you are an incoming student or a transfer student, you will do the audition virtually. The typed questions will be emailed to me, and the audition criteria will be recorded and uploaded to the link below. The panel will review your audition materials virtually. All virtual auditions are due on Friday, May 17th at 11:59 PM.

5. Live auditions will take place the week of May 6th. The Symphonic Band auditions will take place on May 6th, the Advanced Choir auditions will take place on May 7th, and the Jazz Band auditions will take place on May 8th.

Below, you will find the audition music and the audition questions that you will answer. If you are an incoming freshman or transfer student, you will also see the link for your video submissions. Your questions will be emailed to me at eunpingco@lodiusd.org.
