Students: What you need to know and do

• Study and learn all Audition Materials  and Audition Info for Students.

• Submit Online Orchestra Student Application once you have prepared your digital audition.

• See your Director for audition submission information (Directors will email sjcmeamusic@gmail.com for access to audition upload folder).

• Only Directors will have access to submitting auditions.

• Read the Student Handbook and check the schedule for any conflicts you may have.

Audition Reminders:

Please remember to upload audio files, not video recordings,  and to record each scale and excerpt separately. No speaking or metronome on recording. Remember to listen to your recordings before uploading them to check that they are working and of the right format. If you need to edit out a little bit of talking at the beginning or end of recording, that's ok. BandLab is a great resource for this.

• Music will be distributed to directors prior to the first rehearsal.

• Attend all scheduled rehearsals.

• Rehearse your music and come prepared to each rehearsal.
