Pre-Formed Ensembles

• 4-6 minutes total chosen from two constrasting works that best demonstrate the abilities of each ensemble member.

Individuals

String
• 4-5 minutes solo & 3-octave scale
• Choose a solo that best represents your current playing level and musicianship.
• Scale should be done twice: slow, with full bows for tone and vibrato, and fast, for left-hand facility and off-string stroke demonstration.

Piano
• Pianists should include 4-5 minutes from two contrasting works or movements which demonstrate their performance level.

Woodwinds & Horn
• Choose a solo that best represents your current playing level and musicianship
• Choose an etude that is contrasting in character from your solo
• Play your concert Bb, F, and chromatic scales in slurred eighth notes with the quarter note at 180 beats per minute throughout the full range of the horn.
