2019 Waukegan Band Auditions - Sign-Ups are Now Open!
To audition for the Waukegan Band, please sign up online at this link: https://forms.gle/GU9cNoTJJxFyo6Ro6
If you receive a confirmation e-mail from Google immediately afterwards, it means we got your request. We will follow up with your audition time as soon as we can.
Then you will need to attend ONE of these audition dates:
Auditions will take about five minutes and consist of several 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 15 years of age or older. Musicians who are under the age of 15 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 think you can play at least half of the season, you should schedule an audition as a regular member. If you would like to sub, please either contact our personnel manager or fill out the audition request form.
As always, we are wanting to recruit the best musicians possible. Please pass this information along and dust those horns off! We look forward to having you join us this season!
If you have any questions, please contact our Personnel Manager, Shan Kazmi, at WaukeganBandMembership@gmail.com.
