The optional improvisationis page two for all saxophones, trumpet and trombone auditions. The Audio mp3 and audio sd2 files are for the improvsiations. There will continue to be opportunities for wind and brass players to perform with combos. For this to be successful, students must have a certain level of improvisational skill. Therefore, all wind and brass players wishing to participate in a combo, and all piano, guitar, and bass players, MUST perform the improvisation segment of the audition. Wind and brass players wishing only to participate in the big band are not required to submit an improvisation. Improvisations will be used by the audition committee to make appropriate combo placements, but students of varying improvisational abilities can be accepted into the festival.The accompaniments for the piano and bass improvisations differ from those for other instruments. Make sure you are using the correct file.
Please send one recording for each instrument (i.e. all alto saxophones on one recording,all tenor saxophones on one recording, all baritone saxophones on one recording, all trumpets on one recording, all trombones on one recording, all bass players on one recording, all guitar players on one recording, all piano players on one recording, all drummers on one recording. FOr the vocal ensemble,auditions, put all sopranos on one cd, all altos on one cd, all tenors on one cd and all basses on one cd)
