Hey, well, Im glad you are interested, because we need a GREAT tubist for this year, and years to come, and I need one to put that BASS on the tuba( hahahahhaha)

To answer your question: The audition is not as difficult as GDYO, but the audition expectations are the same with both orchestras. You will need like, an etude, or a solo, and in April, they will hopefully have the little audition excerpts for this year, and they will include 1 scale, 2 octaves, and a 2 octave arpeggio of that key, and thats it.

so again:
1-Solo
2-Audition packet with: 1 scale, 1 arpeggio in that key, and excerpts.

Thats it!!!, THIS IS OUR TOUR YEAR SO IF YOU PLAN TO JOIN, PLAN TO PAY $4000 IN JANUARY FOR THE TOUR FEE.
