Woodwind and Brass auditions are used to evaluate basic instrumental skills. We are now accepting auditions videos for 2025. Prospective members should prepare an approximately one-minute selection of music. This piece may be an etude, a concert piece or marching music. You are also asked to prepare The Panther Song, and you can find the music below. Copy a PUBLIC link in the space at the link below. Links can be to YouTube videos, Google Drive, or other cloud storage locations, but please ensure that the link has open access permissions. Most students video themselves and then transfer it over to YouTube and send us the link.
Submit your audition here!
