EUSO and EUSWO Woodwind and Brass Auditions

We will be auditioning all woodwind and brass players for EUSO and EUSWO on Saturday 30th September in practice room 4 (downstairs), Cornwall House. Please book a ticket for the time slot that suits you! The tickets will go live after the EUSO and EUSWO taster rehearsals in Freshers week and the deadline to sign up will be 5pm on Thursday 28th September. You will also need to fill in this form with some further information in order to secure your audition slot: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=d10qkZj77k6vMhM02PBKU_-a6SBvWS1Fv0fFGHqkUwJURFQ5S0E3QjlBRU5SQjVCTE5DMjYzRklQMC4u (If you are an associate and cannot use a university of Exeter email address to log in to this form, you will instead need to complete this form: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=d10qkZj77k6vMhM02PBKU_-a6SBvWS1Fv0fFGHqkUwJUN0dFVlVWTTYxTldLVjdGVlFaUlhLQVBYNi4u) Auditions will last around 15 minutes, and will involve you playing a solo piece of your choice, a bit of sight reading, and an informal discussion with our conductor Tim, EUSWO secretary James and president Hannah about your musical interests and experiences. Please note, if you are playing a piece which was written for your instrument and accompaniment, we would prefer that you play with the piano accompaniment, and you will be able to attach a copy of the accompaniment music to send to the pianist when you complete the form. If you would like to play with accompaniment, please could you book a slot as early in the day as possible, and it would be great if people playing unaccompanied pieces could book a later slot. We would recommend arriving 15 minutes early and you will be able to sign in with a member of the committee, and there will be a room available for you to warm up before your audition starts. We aim to make the auditions as relaxed as possible and would really encourage anyone who is interested to come and play for us. If you have any questions feel free to contact us by emailing [email protected]. (Anyone auditioning for a front desk string position who is not also auditioning for EUCO is welcome to audition on the Saturday as well if the Sunday is not convenient!)
