I will get it fixed! Once I do we can post the info here
For the super motivated:
Snedecor #6
Holst 1
Toccata Marziele (sp?)
Melody Shop
And I think the cadenza of Hindemith Sonata, but might be the symphony

Thanks in advance for your interest and we will get the "official" version out shortly!

We just finished listening to a really impressive selection of cd's for the upcoming audition. We are mailing out acceptance and non-acceptance letters today. You should get a response by early next week. We selected 12 applicants to come and play for us live in January. Good luck to all!! It's an awesome job.

Looks like one could accomplish this tryout with a three octave range.

But I'm sure six would be helpful. :)
