Audition Excerpts

2026-2027 Audition Excerpts

Excerpts are short passages from  each ensemble’s upcoming repertoire and representative of the playing level for that group. Auditioning with excerpts is standard for ensemble auditions and the foundation for high-level orchestral auditions. 

Prepare the excerpts for your instrument that best demonstrates your current musical skill and experience. Musicians must prepare the Repertory Orchestra and Symphony Orchestra excerpts to be considered for placement in Symphony Orchestra.
