INSTRUMENTAL ENSEMBLES AUDITIONS

Saxophone Packet

This packet is for ALL saxophonists. You may audition on the saxophone with which you are most comfortable: alto, tenor, or baritone.

Each audition has three components required of all players. These requirements are the same even if you are only auditioning for the concert bands or if you are only auditioning for the Cardinal Jazz Orchestra.

1. Perform two 2-octave major scales of your choice

2. Perform the first 16 measures of the 2020-2021 TMEA All-State Jazz Etude #3, which is only page 2 of this packet. The stated tempo is half-note equals 110 BPM. However, you may play it at whatever tempo with which you are comfortable. Accuracy is the most important factor.

3. Perform any 32 measures of your choice from TWO of the three TMEA all-

state band saxophone etudes (your choice), which are found on pages 3-4 of this packet. Again – be as accurate as possible.

The audition itself will be LIVE, either in-person within the Music Building or via Zoom, and will take place during the afternoons of Monday and Tuesday, August 17-18 (pre-recorded auditions will not be accepted.) Additional information or any changes to the process will be announced via email to all those who have signed-up for an audition time. Audition time sign-up sheets will be posted on the bulletin board in the Music Building by August 3. Audition results and instructions regarding first rehearsal times for each ensemble will be posted in the Music Building and distributed via email by Wednesday, August 19.
