Help with research

[Tubaru]

I am working on a research project for a college class and thought it would be interesting to try and determine which tuba excerpts are most often asked in the final rounds of orchestral auditions. I would also like to include which excerpts are asked to be performed with the trombone section. Any of you that have audition experience, would you please provide your insight? Please indicate with or without trombone section.

Thank you.

I just looked through 1500 posts. Lots of talk about auditions and excerpts but nothing specifically on the topic I am researching. What keywords would you suggest I use to find final round excerpts and excerpts asked to be performed with the trombone section?

Just a suggestion.
You may need to try several different ways.
I just recall over the years people even selling lists on how often an excerpt was asked for and when.
Try the names coming up for big jobs (and where they'd have the whole 'bone section play) and asking them.
Remember for big gigs sometimes the "finals" is playing playing with the orchestra.
Try the Trombone sites!

Don't take offence, it's not just you.
