2019 Audition Information will be posted
2018 Auditions:
If you are interested in auditioning for the Waukegan Band, please fill out the audition form and attend ONE of these audition dates:
All auditions are evenings from 6:30-9:00 PM.
Auditions will be based on sight-reading excerpts. The sight-reading music is at an approximate grade level of 4 (1-6 scale). Auditions are blind and will be judged on tone quality, rhythmic accuracy, musicality, and technical facility. Percussionists will be asked to audition on snare, timpani, and keyboard.
Membership of the Waukegan Band is open to all outstanding musicians 16 years of age or older. Musicians who are under the age of 16 may become members of the band at the discretion of the Musical Director upon completion of a successful audition, when there is a need to improve instrumentation and the player demonstrates above average ability.
If you cannot commit to the entire season but would like to be considered as a "substitute," please audition so we may have your information on file.
If you have any questions, please contact Personnel Manager, Shan Kazmi at waukeganband@gmail.com.
