Audition Procedure

Once your Zoom info has been anonomized, you'll head into the breakout room to which you've been assigned.

Evaluate your peers while awaiting your turn to perform

(do not evaluate the student just before you as you'll need that time to warm-up/prepare)

When it is your turn to perform:
1) do not speak
2) Play a single orchestral excerpt

You have 4 minutes to perform your excerpt

Take a breather during the audition following yours.
Relax for 4 minutes, you've earned it.

Resume evaluating your peers until everyone has performed.

This activity is NOT intended to demoralize or humiliate anyone - keep the comments positive and encouraging. Frame criticism in positive language. Remember the feedback sandwich:

Something Nice
Area for Growth
Something Nice

And remember your lesson from kindergarten: if you can't think of something nice to say, don't say anything at all.
