Have your music already in the binder by the first camp. The attached music packet contains all of the audition etudes and exercises for Snare Drum, Tenors, Bass Drum, and Front Ensemble. You will need to prepare the exercises and etudes for the instrument you want to audition on. The etudes (including cuts and tempos) included are:.

o To be considered for Marimba, you must play Andante. lf you are not auditioning for a Marimba spot, you do not need to learn Andante. A few important things to remember:. Your preparation for these auditions is VEY IMPOTANT. The better you prepare, the better you will audition.. lf you are auditioning for the battery, you must be able to mark time to EVEY exercise in your packet. lf you are auditioning for the Battery, you must have a pair of Marching Snare Sticks. Concert and drum set sticks are not appropriate for this audition.. Every spot is open. No spot is reserved for any student. You will be placed in the spot the staff feels will benefit you and the group the most.. Every spot is important. You might not get the spot you originally hoped, however you are still needed and valuable to the ensemble. You will be the only person in your spot, no parts are doubled.. lt is very important that you come with a positive attitude and you are ready to to work.. Most importantly, HAVE FUN!!! lf you have any questions, please email Mr. Feldser at kevinfeldser@misdmail.org. I look forward to seeing all of you at the first audition and I am excited to begin the preparation forthe 2018 MHS Marching Band Season!!!
