2 Dear Applicant, Congratulations on taking your first step towards being a part of the Golden Empire Drum Bugle Corps! I m very excited that you want to join the corps, and I hope your audition experience is one that is informative, challenging, and ultimately positive! What this packet IS: The following audition packet will provide you with some preliminary info and/or exercises that will help you prepare for the workshop/auditions that will take place soon. Some of these exercises will be used all season, and others may only be used as supplemental material. You should become familiar with the material but be ready for additional info at the workshop. What this packet is NOT: This packet is not a comprehensive collection of the technique program you will be learning this season. We will supplement this with more advanced exercises and of course a wealth of practical hands-on training throughout the season. We don t expect you to be able to perform this material perfectly at auditions. Drum corps is all about working hard to be the best we can be and that is an ongoing process. Next steps: Fill out the interest form at geperformingarts.org/join if you haven t already. Download review the audition packet below for your section and start to prepare for auditions. Register for camp at geperformingarts.org/register Check geperformingarts.org for additional info, FAQs, and any updates. Prepare to bring your $0 audition fee to camp. Attend camp ready to learn, work hard, and have fun! Thanks again for taking the first step towards a challenging and rewarding experience! I look forward to meeting you in person at auditions. If you have any questions at all please contact me personally at theasley@geperformingarts.org or call Sincerely, Tim Heasley Director, Golden Empire Drum Bugle Corps

3 Thank you for your interest in the Golden Empire Drum Bugle Corps! This packet contains technique exercises that will be used throughout the audition process. In addition, you should download and prepare etudes #1 #2 for your instrument from the following links: Trumpet Mellophone (F Horn) Baritone/Euphonium TC Baritone/Euphonium BC Tuba Items to bring to audition camp. Audition Packet Gloves (or $2 to purchase a pair) Towel (tuba applicants only) Athletic Clothing (tennis shoes, shorts/sweats, etc., NO JEANS) Water Jug Three ring binder w/ sheet protectors Mouthpiece Optional: Your personal/school brass instrument (as a backup) Optional: Folding music stand What the brass staff is looking for in a prospective Golden Empire member: Attitude Timing Tone Quality Technique Musicianship Athleticism Responsibility Before Audition Camp Work until you are comfortable with all of the audition material. Use a metronome. Be able to mark time to all the audition material. During Audition Camp Keep in mind that you are auditioning at all times. Be professional. Be sure to ask questions if you are confused about anything you are being asked to play. Stay mentally engaged throughout the ENTIRE process. If you have questions about any of the content in this packet, or if there is anything that you need to make the staff aware of before auditions, please do not hesitate to contact Prichard Pearce: prichardpearce@gmail.com
