Pit Percussion  To Contact us Percussion Part Assignments Download audition materials, warm-ups, and music(will be posted soon). Try-outs will be very short, informal auditions. Snares, Tenors, and Basses will play the 2007 cadence and several of the warm-ups. Separate mallet, auxiliary percussion, and cymbal audition materials will be on the web site. Part assignments will be posted before dinner Saturday (11th). We will continue switching people around Saturday night and Sunday until we feel like we have the line set. Equipment will be checked out after auditions. Bring sticks/mallets for your instrument (we will provide bass drum mallets & keyboard mallets). Our goal is to find a spot for everyone, but there are limited numbers of spots in each section based on equipment and talent level. Be ready to be flexible! Please try to memorize as music as possible prior to camp! Mp3’s and .pdf’s of all music will be up shortly. Download the music and play along! Here are the Pit audition materials! We know this is up late, but most students don’t have a way to practice during the summer anyway. You will be asked to play as much of these 4 etudes as you can. You will be given time to practice and learn these short etudes before auditions.
