Auditions

The Kankakee Municipal Band is interested in recruiting outstanding musicians from the Kankakee area.  Per board policy, the conductor selects all band performers, while the elected board selects which performers become voting members of the group. 

Because the band plays a new concert program each week, qualified musicians must be excellent sight-readers.  They must be available on Tuesday and Thursday evenings during the summer.  They are eager to perform on their instrument and look forward to preparing quality musical performances.

Auditions are held at the Larsen Fine Arts Center at Olivet Nazarene University.  Musicians must perform a prepared selection that demonstrates their tone quality, expression, and range.  Musicians will also be asked to perform two major scales from memory.  A sight-reading test will also be conducted.  The conductor and band officers will evaluate the auditions.
