Ensemble Auditions - Band, Orchestra, and Piano*

* Piano students will participate in the orchestra and bands ensemble.

Pre-recorded playing samples will be requested in Spring 2025.
Students should complete their ensemble auditions by Thursday, June 5, 2025 the registration deadline.

In order to place students in the proper ensemble, we ask that all students wishing to take part in our band and orchestra camp track submit a pre-recorded sample of their playing. Pre-recorded playing samples will be submitted to the University of Evansville music faculty, and only ensemble directors will have access to these recordings. Students should include the title of the piece and their name in the recording. Students may choose to submit the following items for their pre-recorded playing sample:

• Excerpt from student's solo/ensemble repertoire
• Excerpt from pieces played in student's band/orchestra/piano classes
• Excerpt from a selection the student's private lessons instructor has approved

Pre-recorded playing samples should be no longer than two minutes in length.

Please send your pre-recorded samples to summermusiccamp@evansville.edu.
