Wind Ensemble Auditions

Thank you for your interest in auditioning for the Grand Blanc High School Wind Ensemble.  Wind Ensemble auditions will be based on a number of factors.  Demonstrating proper work ethic on a daily basis, responsibility, number of years of private instruction, solo and ensemble participation, and number of ensembles performing in are all examples of areas that are considered for membership acceptance.


An audition is also required.  Below is a list of things to expect in the audition.

  1. Audition music will be selected by the student.    You will need to demonstrate various musical styles.  Try to demonstrate your strengths.  You can perform anything you like.  It can be a solo that you have been working on, or something we have been working on in class.
  2. All players must play the "Wind Ensemble Audition Etude(s)".  You can download the etude by clicking on the WIND ENSMBLE AUDITION MATERIAL like, located on this page.
  3. Percussion students must demonstrate their ability on snare drum, timpani and keyboard.  Because you have three instruments to demonstrate, percussionist DO NOT have to play a solo.  You do however need to play the provided etude for snare drum, keyboard and timpani.
  4. All auditions will take place online, with a video recording.
