Audition Information for Wind Symphony & Wind Ensemble
Auditions for the 2020-2021 WVHS Wind Ensemble & Wind Symphony will take place after school on Monday, January 27, 2020. Please remember that students are not required to audition to be in band. Incoming freshmen finishing 8th grade band should automatically enroll in Concert Band. Current freshmen should register for Symphonic Band. Current sophomores and juniors should register for the band class they are currently in. We will adjust rosters with guidance after auditions. Only those band students who wish to be considered for Wind Ensemble & Wind Symphony need to audition.
To register for an audition, please follow these three steps:
1. All interested students should click on this Audition Procedures link and read those instructions carefully.
*Current 8th grade students should also read and complete this permission slip to register for an audition.
2. Click here to complete the online registration form.
3. Click on the link for your instrument below to download the appropriate scale sheet and audition etudes. This material comes from the ILMEA District 9 Audition Set 2. For WVHS auditions, students are only required to prepare the etude sections that are marked with large black brackets. Students planning to audition for ILMEA in October of 2020 are encouraged to double check the official ILMEA Set 2 Etude List as that audition often requires larger portions of these etudes, if not the entire etude.
Please be sure you print two etudes and a scale sheet. If you have any questions regarding auditions, please contact one of the WVHS band directors.
Important note: ILMEA Auditions will require larger portions of the etudes.
Please go to the ILMEA Website to confirm requirements for this set of etudes.
