Each person auditioning will pick one Audition Section (options per instrument listed below) to perform for our judges. For the most part these Sections capture the hardest part of the song and also fit within our time constraints.

You must audition for each instrument you wish to perform on.

If you wish to audition for multiple instruments please sign up for one time slot per instrument.

You will be judged on accuracy as well as stage presence.

Your Section should be memorized. We will provide the track to play along with.
