Tenor Saxophone--Junior Concert Band Audition
You will be asked to audition by performing two things. First, you will demonstrate that you can play various pitches from the Standard of Excellence book by themselves (Line 1, Line 2, etc.)
Second, you will perform a short excerpt from a beginning band piece called "Chorale and Recessional". Sheet music and a recording of this excerpt can be found below.
Practice this piece slowly at first, then try to work up the speed until you can play it at the speed of the recording.
The fingerings to any new notes can be found on the fingering chart for your instrument. You can find the tenor saxophone fingering chart under the tab that says "Instrument Fingering Charts" or at the back of the Standard of Excellence book we use in class.
Try to observe all of the dynamic and tempo markings, and try to perform all the articulations correctly as well.
Good luck!
