Senior Camp Audition Information & Excerpts

Senior Camp
Audition Information 2012

For the audition, students will be asked to play their chosen solo and chosen orchestral excerpts from the list below. If you are enrolled in the All–State class, the All–State excerpts.

The purpose of the audition is to determine seating placement in the cello orchestra and to create balanced and level appropriate small cello ensembles. This is not intended to be a high-pressure situation – however, it is how we gather information so that you will have the best possible experience. Please practice these excerpts carefully, with special attention to rhythms and metronome markings.

There are two excerpt categories possible – you only need prepare one of the categories. Please choose the category that best represents your playing level.

Category I: Excerpts 1-3 are for less experienced players:

AUDITION EXCERPTS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN EARLY SUMMER

Category II: If you wish to be considered for one of the top positions in the cello orchestra or for placement in an advanced ensemble, you must be prepared to play excerpts 3 and 4.
