This is a LOT of ensembles so assignments can be tricky (don't forget Marching Band for those of you playing is MWF 3:30-6:00). For all of the bands and orchestra, the audition material can be accessed by clicking the link below:
Percussion Audition Material - Fall 2024
This consists of the following to be played in this order:
• Snare Etude #6 - Jacques Delecluse
• Concertino for Percussion and Wind Ensemble - David Gillingham (marimba excerpt)
• 3 auxilliary excerpts:
• Triangle - Carmen - Bizet
• Tambourine - Carneval Overture - Dvorak
• Cymbals - Romeo & Juliet - Tchaikovsky
Each candidate will perform each of these in order so it should only take under 10 minutes per audition.
If you are ONLY wanting to be considered for Percussion Ensemble II and/or Concert Band, then you may play any short snare AND keyboard solo/etude of your choice. Hopefully this makes everything clear, but if you have anyquestions, email Wayne.

OSU Jazz Rhythm Section Auditions will occur on Tuesday, August 20 at 7pm in GSM 110. If you want to play in a big band or combo, you must attend this audition. For this audition, I will hear you play in combo format. There is no signup sheet for the rhythm section auditions. Everyone please arrive promptly at 7pm with your lead sheet for “Mohawk”. Click here for a recording of "Mohawk". Pdf's in treble clef and bass clef are linked for Mowhawk by Charlie Parker.
Drummers: Drums and cymbals will be set up for you so that all you have to do is show up. We will also take care of teardown. You’ll just need to bring your lead sheet for “Mohawk” and your sticks and brushes (if you also have brushes). Drummers may be asked to play different grooves to show their range of styles (medium swing, fast swing, bossa nova, swing waltz, Afro Cuban, Funk, swing with brushes).
