Senior Audition Percussion Requirements
All percussionists will need to prepare Solo #1 from "Eight 3 Minute Audition Solos for Multiple Percussion" - Tanner, Alfred Pub..cat.# 3-2955. Students will be judged on not only on how they play the different percussion instruments (timpani will need to be tuned) at each station but also on how they count the beats or measures between each written part. Students should take note of the setup of the different stations suggested by the author and should bring sufficient copies of music for each station and the mallets needed to play at those stations. Triangle and tambourine are provided.
