Ensemble Auditions
Fall 2018 Audition Information
Mandatory ensemble auditions take place during Orientation Week (in September) for all Bachelor of Music students (except Community Music students). Auditions will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 5 and Thursday, Sept. 6 by instrument grouping, except Jazz Rhythm Section. Jazz Rhythm Section auditions will be on Tuesday, Sept. 11 during the first Jazz Ensemble Rehearsal. Students interested in auditioning for the Jazz Rhythm Section should also audition on Sept. 5 or 6th to ensure a spot in another ensemble if their Jazz Rhythm Section audition is not successful.
Your audition time (five minutes in length), date and location will be sent to your MyLaurier email in August.
Based on your primary instrument use the listing below to determine audition expectations. All auditions (except for choir) will be blind, meaning you will perform behind a wall or screen for the audition panel, removing footwear and not speaking.
