  • Bottom of your confirmation Email contains instructions on how to send Youtube link to us.

    Please make sure your entire upper body, including your face, is shown in the audition video.

    The audition video will be used primarily for ensemble placement, so it should demonstrate the musician’s ability to play collaboratively within a group or band setting. We are looking for evidence of chordal knowledge, comping ability, and rhythmic versatility—key skills necessary for successful ensemble playing. The video should showcase how well the musician listens, supports, and interacts musically, rather than simply performing solo repertoire. Detailed descriptions of the required skills and evaluation criteria can be found on our website.
