2007-8 DCSO Auditions

Auditions for the Davidson Instrumental Ensembles will take place during the first week of classes on August 28-30, 2007. Rehearsals for the ensembles will begin the following week. A brief audition schedule is given below:

  • Tuesday, August 28: Woodwinds (no saxophones), brass, and orchestral percussion
  • Wednesday, August 29: Woodwinds, brass, jazz rhythm & saxophones
  • Thursday, August 30: strings

Sign-up sheets are posted on the bulletin board outside of Sloan 200 (the instrumental rehearsal room.) When you arrive on campus, please sign up for a time. If you are interested in participating in both the DCSO and the Jazz Ensemble, in most cases, you will not need to audition twice. If you are a percussionist/drummer or a bassist and would like to audition for both groups, please contact Dr. William Lawing to see if it is necessary to sign up for two slots.

Orchestral excerpts

In addition to your one or two prepared pieces, you will be asked to play some orchestral excerpts from music for the upcoming season. You can download these excerpts by clicking on the links below (you'll need a PDF reader), or you can pick up hard copies from the board outside of Sloan 200 when you arrive on campus.
