Snare Auditions:

Sun, Sept 18 & Sun, Sept 25, 2016

The Preparation
Use a metronome.
Create good sounds. Listen to yourself.
Work until you are familiar and comfortable with all of the audition
material.
Mark time to everything.
Individual evaluation
During the individual evaluation, you will be asked to perform the material from this
packet as well as other basic skills. Expect to receive immediate and detailed
feedback, similar to a mini-private lesson. Our goal is not only to set the line for the
current season, but to also educate future BCP percussionists.
Ensemble performance
In the ensemble environment, we will be looking for your ability to blend, balance, and
adapt. Something important to note: Do not attempt to play clean nor follow the
ensemble horizontally (i.e. tempo fluctuations). Your goal should be to play
mathematically correct and accurately when it comes to rhythm and tempo control.
Trust your inner groove and use the metronome as reference. Keep in mind, your
neighbor may not be correct.
The Results
Following the completion of your audition, you should have a clear understanding of
where you stand and whether or not you have been selected to continue in the audition
process. This will be done in person before dismissal. We will make
every attempt to have a one-on-one conversation with you. However, if there are
several prospects with similar issues, you may be spoken to in a small group.
If you have questions about any of the content in this packet, or if there is anything that
you need to make the staff aware of before auditions, please do not hesitate to contact
