Is anyone else having problems loading the link for the excerpts or is it simply my browser?

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.

A huge congratulations to Chase Garner on winning the audition today after 4 rounds of playing!! It was a pleasure to sit on the panel and hear so many talented musicians. Thanks to all who applied for this awesome job.

I hopefully will audition for this in the future
